Standard component pads corrupted after editing

Hello,

 

After editing the pads from a standard component from the database, there's something strange happening while printing the component. When i choose the option "leave drill holes open", most of the pad(s) seems to dissapeare or change shape. If the option is not choosen, the pad(s) seems to be alright. A similar problem happens with some other pads, the corners are not rounded when printing with the option "leave druill holes open" activated.

 

Since our students need to print the layout and then make a pcb photograficley, i'll hope you can help us.

 

Sincerly,

 

Leo Snoeren

Hello,

 

Does the change in drill holes appear in the print preview?

 

Does it tend to happen to a particular pad?

 

Thanks

Hello,

 

Thank you for you're reply. The size of the drill hole has no influence.The change in drill holes does not appear in the print preview. It only happens on pads witch are edited, and witch are made square ore rectangular. Rounded corners or not makes no difference.  It don't happens on round pads. I want to make the pads square or rectangular so they are bigger and I can punt more solder to it.

Hello,

 

Could you state which version you are using, as it might be a bug associated with that version.

 

Have you tried exporting the file to a 3rd party printing software and seeing if the issue remains?

 

Thanks,
Sas
