SMT Pad on internal layers

budnoel

Hello - I have a flex that I'm designing that has an edge connector that we would like to have make contact with 2nd and 5th layers of a 6 layer design.  How would I design my padstack to appear on the 2nd and 5 layers?  Thanks in advance for the help.

    When you design your padstack create the pad as a through hole pad but don't define a drill hole (unless you need it). On the layers tab don't define top, bottom or default internal, RMB on the arrow to add the layers INNER2 and INNER5 and define the pad on those layers only. The layer names MUST match the layer names in the PCB and symbol files. Save the pad.

    Thanks so much, Steve!  I'll give it a try.
