Summary

Returns all pad and via objects whose Library property complies with the Query.

Syntax

PadViaLibrary = PadViaLibrary_String

PadViaLibrary_String must be a string that:

• Targets pads/vias from the required Pad Via Template Library. In this case, the string should target that library name (e.g. 'ExamplePVLib.PvLib').
• Targets pads/vias from the local template library. In this case, the '<Local>' string must be used.

Example Usage

PadViaLibrary = '<Local>'
Returns all pad and via objects whose Library property is <Local>.

PadViaLibrary = 'ExamplePVLib.PvLib'
Returns all pad and via objects whose Library property is ExamplePVLib.PvLib.

PadViaLibrary Like '*PVLib'
Returns all pad and via objects whose Library property ends in PVLib. For example, pads/vias placed from the template library ExamplePVLib.PvLib would be returned using this expression.

Notes

• The Library property is only defined for pad and via objects.
• The single quote characters (') at the start and end of PadViaLibrary_String are mandatory.

Summary

Returns all pad and/or via objects whose Library Template property complies with the Query.

Syntax

PadViaLibraryTemplate : String

The entered string must target the name of the required pad/via template (e.g. 'c152hn127').

Example Usage

PadViaLibraryTemplate = 'c152hn127'
Returns all pad objects whose Library Template property is c152hn127.

PadViaLibraryTemplate = 'v127h71'
Returns all via objects whose Library Template property is v127h71.

PadViaLibraryTemplate Like '*127'
Returns all pad and via objects whose Library Template property ends in 127. For example, a pad placed using template c152hn127, and a via placed using template v102h71x127, would be returned using this expression.

Note

The Library Template property is only defined for pad and via objects.

Summary

Returns all pad and via objects whose Linked To Library property complies with the Query.

Syntax

PadViaLinkedToTemplate : Boolean_String

Example Usage

PadViaLinkedToTemplate = 'True'
Returns all pad and via objects whose Linked To Library property is enabled (are linked to a Pad Via Template Library (*.PvLib).

PadViaLinkedToTemplate = 'False'
Returns all pad and via objects whose Linked To Library property is disabled (are not linked to a Pad Via Template Library (*.PvLib).

Summary

Returns all pad objects whose Pad X Offset property complies with the Query.
