surface mount test points

Solved!
Go to solution

I have an 8 layer thru-hole board, I want to put surface mount type pads on just the bottom to be used as test points for part of a 72 pin connector and a 68 pin IC. So far, I cannot get the supplied test points to come in on just the bottom or they have drilled holes.

Thanks for the help.

Hi,

 

You can create a new component with only one SMT pad and use that as the test point.  You should add the testpoint in your schematic as well because you need this it to be part of the netlist and also, if you forward annotate and if the testpoint is not in the netlist, Ultiboard will remove it from the board.

This surface mount test point is on the bottom of the board. I cannot make a sm padon the bottom layer. How do you put a surface mount component on the bottom of the board in Ultiboard? I know how to do it in many other programs, but I cannot find a way to do it here. This has to be done 140 tomes.

Thanks for the help.
