Tips Copy Link Copied
- The single quote characters (') at the start and end of
PadShape_Stringare mandatory. - For simple pads (with Stack Mode set to Simple) the Shape (Top Layer) property will be the same as the Shape (All Layers) property, since the specified shape is used for all signal layers.
- The Shape (Top Layer) property is only defined for pad objects.
