    A padstack is a collection of information that is associated with a pin or a via, used to model different types of pads

    A padstack is a file that contains the following information for each layer: • Pad size and shape • Drill size and drill display figure • Mask layers such as Soldermask, Pastemask, and Filmmask

    axlLoadPadstack loads a padstack by attempting to find the padstack by name in the existing database. Failing that, Allegro PCB Editor looks in the pad library on the disk. padStackId=axlLoadPadstack("60C85C35D")

    If it finds the padstack, padStackId will not be NULL. If you print information about the padstack using padStackId->??, you will get the information about drill, layers span, and the list of pads, as shown in the image
