Tools > Pad > Boundary separator option

SOT23

Hello,

I have started using the command Tools > Pad > Boundary to edit some padstacks at the board level.

There is an option called Separator and I cannot find what it's purpose is. Could someone explain this ?

It takes 1 character; digit or letter, but I don't see any effect.

Thank you

    Hi SOT23,  the layout tool identifies an edited pad with a name derived from the original pad and padstack name. The tool incrementally adds a numeric value to the end of the pad shape and padstack names with separator character. The default is a dash "-" character but you can change to a letter if you prefer. 

    For example, if you edited a pin for a padstack called SMD50, the resulting, “derived” padstack name is:

    Does this make sense to you?
