Hi All Does anyone know how to change the tolerance '+0.00/-0.00' to text 'SEE BELOW' or something, if the tolerance is 0 in the pad and only display the tolerance if set. Cheers.

    create a custom padstack. for specific holes with "see text below" create another copy of a 10mil drill and rename it using a 10.01mil drill.

    Modify your drill table file. Located in your share folder. cadence folder\share\pcb\text\nclegend\default-*.dlt. When you generate nclegend the gui points to this file.


    open default-mil if your using mils using notepad, make your mods and save in the same folder. create a backup zip just incase it breaks.

    heres my example:

    (make__ncTemplate_struct
    ?Name "custom DRILL CHART by Oscar Miguelino"
    ?Title "DRILL CHART"
    ?Units "mils"
    ?TitleHeight 250
    ?TitleTextBlock 9
    ?ColumnTitleTextBlock 8
    ?DataTextBlock 8
    ?PlatingOrder "PlatedFirst"
    ?ColumnDefinitions '(
    ("Figure" "FIGURE" 7)
    ("User" "SIZE" 13)
    ("User" "TOLERANCE" 14)
    ("PlateStatus" "PLATED" 10)
    ("Quantity" "QTY" 6))

    ?CustomData '(
    ( 10.01 "PLATED" "0.010" "+0.0/-0.0 SEE TEXT BELOW" PLATED) ( 10 "NON-PLATED" "0.010" "+/-.003" )
    ( 11.01 "PLATED" "0.011" "+0.0/-0.0 SEE TEXT BELOW" PLATED) ( 11 "NON-PLATED" "0.011" "+/-.003" )
    ))
