    Altium: still on custom pad creation, merging 2 pads

    Hi again, I've tries to do some test but it seems the tool doesn't allow me to change default via layer from multilayer to any single layer mode. I've put the hole size to zero and I have also tried to force single layer mode by setting start and layer to the same layer, but that doesn't work...

    Altium: still on custom pad creation, merging 2 pads

    Mmm, no, it's not a routing problem. Routing is a problem because the footprint ignores same pads with same identifier. Or I can't make it recognize them as a single split pad. If the footprint would manage the pads as it should there should not be any need for routing the footprint pads to...

    Altium: still on custom pad creation, merging 2 pads

    Hi, yes, the intention is to have a footprint that adapts SMD components to thru-hole pads. I made my footprint in PCB library (my first pic in my previous post). However those footprint are not associated to any net as they are only mechanical footprint that are added to the board but not part...

    Altium: still on custom pad creation, merging 2 pads

    Thanks for the answer. Yes, I did. Via is not different than a normal PAD. Still short circuits are reported when using them. Here an example. First how the pads have been defined in the footprint editor: And here the errors reported by the PCB designer As you can see the only way to not...

    Altium: still on custom pad creation, merging 2 pads

    Hello, I have looked for a solution to this problem everywhere, but I could not find any solution. I am trying to create a custom footprint with some custom pads. These pads are nothing special: they are a joining of 2 elementary pads. One pad is only on the top layer, the second is a...
