I have a legacy board design that I am supporting in PADS 9.1.
Right now, when ever I generate the gerbers for this board and send out for a paste stencil, I have to tell them to modify the paste file by deleting some of the openings and shrinking some of the openings. My preference is to...
Ok, I figured out a solution for the problem in my post title but will be posting a follow-up, semi-related question about making a modified paste mask. I would like to shrink the paste mask opening for only certain pads.
Solution:
When generating the files in the CAM tool, Edit the Paste Mask...

For a design with multiple supplies, can you only use the power symbol for one of the power nets? Is there more than one power symbol somewhere?
Thanks for the reply!!!!
It turns out that I was just hitting "Send Netlist". This worked to add these new components and nets but not adding/subtracting to current nets.
In order to fix the problem I had to "ECO to PCB"
I am starting with an existing PCB and Schematic in PADs 9.1. The PCB has a connector with pads that are connected to ground and I want to remove those connections.
I removed the connections on the schematic but when I push the Netlist to the PCB, the pads on are still showing that they are on...
I am pretty new to PADs and have a few issues that I can't figure out. I am working in version 9.1.
I am adding a few components to an existing design and when I push the Netlist to the PCB I get errors:
"Power or Ground Symbols used with wrong Net Name"
"Subnets with Missing Off-Page...
