Is there a way find out if a pad is modified in the design?

HJerry over 1 year ago

Hi all,

Is there information in a padstack that will tell if it has been modified in a design?

Thanks,

Jerry

Hello Jerry,

Yes, if you do a Show Element (Display > Element) on the pin, it will show the below message:

"pin is EXPLODED from symbol"

Only if the pad is moved will it show that it is exploded.

I am trying to check if a padstack has been modified in the design. In particular, anti-pad size changes.

Thanks,

Jerry

I don' think we have this capability yet in PCB Editor.

There is a new feature in Allegro X APD , "Library Compare" which helps you compre the design data from library.

Also, there is a SKILL file available on support.cadence.com which can help you to define and extract teh "last modified date" attached to a symbol
