If a number of circular through hole pads (Pads,paste mask) on a equal distance needs to be included, this function can do the job. In the next dialogbox all the necessary parameters can be entered. After pressing the OK button the pads can be placed. When pressing the right mouse button the pads will rotate 90 degrees counter clock wise. By pressing and keep down the shift key and moving the mouse cursor, the moving center will change. When the spacebar is pressed, a dialogbox will popup, and the position of the first pin can be edited by hand. When the first character typed is a @ the coordinates will be relative against the Relative (grid)position. The coordinates typed in will be used with the current units (dimension).
The function Add SIL based on selected objects will do the same, but the dialogbox parameters will already be filled, with the parameters of a selected pad.
The following parameters can be changed:
Pad size
Pitch
Nr pins
Pad size solder mask
If the solder mask pad is not necessary, fill the parameter with zero.
Diameter anti power pad
The anti power pad will always be a circle.
If the anti power pad is not necessary, fill the parameter with zero.
Diameter inner pad
The inner pad will always be a circle.
If the inner pad is not necessary, fill the parameter with zero.
Drill hole
Clearance
The initial clearance is the clearance used for this geometry.
Pintype
The pin can be a square or a circle.
Startpin
The startpin consists of two editboxes. The first editbox(optional) contains text or a number, and will not be changed. The second editbox contains a start number. This startnumber will be increased with Increment for the next pads.
The Use default rules for solder paste/mask, inner/anti power pad and clearance button can be used the fill in values based on the drill size.
