How to add Window Panes to paste for a thermal pad

Jeri

Hi, I'm new to the forum and to Allegro.

I'm coming from a Pads environment and slowly trying to learn Allegro.

I'm trying to add window panes to the paste definition for a thermal pad on an LLC40 package.

In pads we can assign multiple shapes to one padstack.  It looks like you can't do that in Allegro.

What would be the proper way in Allegro?

    In the Package Symbol, add Shapes to Package Geometry / Pastemask_Top (most likely you want these on Top), ensure that this subclass is then in the Artwork Film Control for the Pastemask (Top) output.

    That's pretty easy, thank you!
