Thanks guys,
At least you have confirmed that I am not going completely senile. Or
is it a group thing? Maybe it's because you aren't supposed to be working
today, Dennis! I guess Darren is allowed cause he is special, coming from that
place where for us all of the blood would rush to our heads. 8^>
This is P99SE Dennis, I had put that in the subject line but you must
have missed it.
I have not used padstacks a lot previously, but I definitely don't
recall them behaving this way in Print Preview. Yes my padstack was 318 Rnd,
318 Rnd and 218 Rnd, top to bottom and the bottom layer was printing out with a
318 Rnd pad. My designer caught that the spacing seemed wrong on the bottom
layer print but we confirmed that the spacing were correct in the Gerbers and
the database. There was a significant air gap that was smaller but not grossly
smaller considering the 50 mil (radius) gap reduction. Then I attempted to fix
the print but couldn't get anywhere.
Been spending more time on PADs the last 6 months than Protel so it is
amazing what you can forget. Have a good rest of your loooong weekend.

problem.What am I forgetting?
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 ?
