Trimming off one corner of a package outline (Assembly_Top and silkscreen) to indicate pin one.

FormerMember
FormerMember over 6 years ago

Attempted Actions (OrCAD 17.2, hotfix 55):

RMB->Application Mode->Shape Edit

Option Menu

      Active class and subclass 'Package Geometry'/Assembly_Top

     Vertex Command->Click: select 'Chamfer/Round'

     Corners: tick Chamfer radio button

     Trim(T) set to 10mil

Left click on silkscreen rectangle vertex near pin 1 (6-pin SOT Filled or unfilled, not Fixed):

Problem:There isn't a 'Trim Vertex' option. The only Shape Edit mode menu option is 'Trim Corners', which trims multiple corners.

The part can be freely edited in General Edit Mode

Thanks in advance.

-Keith

Thanks in advance for your help.

    Shape Edit Mode is only valid for Shapes so try General Edit mode and RMB> Edit Vertex or just use the Menu Edit - Vertex. If it is a shape the Trim corners does work on all corners but you can hover over a single corner and left click and only that corner is chamfered.
