hi brad
is this 99SE ?

if yes
my take is that PPC does not work correctly in this regard

i get slightly different results in a quick test but in any case the PAD STACK does not seem to be honored in the PPC view

i am getting the opposite, only the smaller shows

in any case if you turn off (delete in PPC) multilayer ALL the pads disappear which makes a certain amount of sense

my testing shows it just used the 'mid'

i assume they fixed this in P2004 ?

Hi Guys,
        Have I just been away from Protel layouts for too long or am I going 
senile?

        I have a mounting pad where I used a padstack to accommodate different 
sized pads top and bottom. On the bottom I have a 218mil pad, on the top I have 
a 318mil pad. The Gerbers come out just fine but my print preview prints have a 
318mil pad printed on the bottom layer. I can't find the reasoning behind this. 
It is essentially printing out a pad size on the bottom layer that is only 
found on either the top of mid layers of the padstack. What am I forgetting 
about?
