Creating a Customized Pad in Ultiboard

[Tebefia]

I am trying to create a Customized Pad with a Specific size in Ultiboard so that I can make use of it for my PCB Design.  I tried to customized a Chip Pad from the Master Database in Ultiboard, but am not successful. 

I would appreciate if anyone could give me the steps or guidelines on how I can achieve creating a Pad of specific dimensions or sizes.

Regards.

Hi

You can refer to this tutorial to create a custom pad:

Once you created a custom pad a saved it to your user database, you can only place it while in the footprint editor, that means you need to create a custom footprint as well.

Hi there,

If you want to edit an exist Chip Pad in the Master Database, you should copy it to the User Database first.( right click the item, and then select User Database)

The following tutorial might be helpful to create a custom component in Ultiboard.
