Meaning of Pin in Package Geometry

Can someone explain to me what a feature drawn on the Pin 'layer' of a component's Package Geometry actually represents?

    That is not a standard layer in Allegro.  Perhaps you are using a customized version?  There is "Pin_Number" but I suspect you are not referring to that.

    You can check to see if your geometry has been customized by looking in the setup menu under "Subclasses"

    Thanks, I didn't even consider that this was an added user layer, which it was. Not sure what the intention was, but now I know I can remove it.
