Other options for defining the paste/solder mask shape are also available in the Shape drop-down. The Custom Shape entry will be shown for the affected layers. The primitives will be added to the current solder/paste shapes of the selected pad. The updated UI of the Pad Stack region of the Properties panel (when one or more pads are selected) with the Top Paste layer region expanded as an example.Ī custom shape on the paste or solder mask layer can be defined by selecting Custom Shape from the Shape drop-down, then clicking the Edit button in the Properties panel, and then defining the shape of the region on this layer by either editing the existing or placing new primitives (tracks, arcs, fills, etc.). Copying and pasting primitives while defining the shape is also supported. From the updated grid in the Pad Stack region of the panel, you can configure the stack of the selected pads on different layers as required, including the shapes on the paste mask and solder mask layers. This feature allows you to create custom shapes on paste and solder mask layers of pads in PCB designs and PCB footprints.Īs part of this improvement, the pad stack configuration UI in the Properties panel has been updated. Along with delivering a range of improvements that develop and mature the existing technologies, each update also incorporates a large number of fixes and enhancements across the software based on feedback raised by customers through the AltiumLive Community's BugCrunch system, helping you continue to create cutting-edge electronics technology.įor more information, refer to the Working with Drawing Objects on a Schematic page.
