Hello,
can somebody explain what the meaning of this edge2 flag is?
Element["" "" "SOT-523" "" 0 0 -2638 -847 0 23 ""]
(
Pad[0 -3347 0 -2362 2100 3000 2900 "" "3" "square"]
Pad[1968 2362 1968 3346 2100 3000 2900 "" "2" "square,edge2"]
Pad[-1969 2362 -1969 3346 2100 3000 2900 "" "1" "square,edge2"]
ElementLine [4134 -5512 -4134 -5512 1000]
ElementLine [4134 5512 4134 -5512 1000]
ElementLine [-4134 5512 4134 5512 1000]
ElementLine [-4134 -5513 -4134 5511 1000]
Attribute("author" "DJ Delorie")
Attribute("copyright" "2006 DJ Delorie")
Attribute("use-license" "Unlimited")
Attribute("dist-license" "GPL")
)
I have seen this explanation:
>For pads, indicates that the second point is closer to the edge. For
>pins, indicates that the pin is closer to a horizontal edge and thus
>pinout text should be vertical.
I do not really understand this, and I can not see a difference if I
include this flag in my footprint file.
A remark related to this flag: Is it not allowed to insert white spaces
in the flags expression, i.e "square, edge2" ?
Best regards
Stefan Salewski
