Are you using the latest version of the LE software? It should be V2015.17.
 
Also.. send me your email by PM and we'll work the issue.

This issue does not seem to be resolved for Allegro.
 
Whatever I do, I can't generate padstacks with thermal relief's.
 
After I create each part, I have to manually update the padstack to include the thermal relief.
 
I beleive this is true for every through-hole part.
 
I tried generating a vertical through-hole header, clicked on "Reference", and built the part.
 
No thermals.
 
Is there a setting somewhere to enable thermal pad generation?]]> Thu, 10 Sep 2015 10:32:02 +0000 https://www.PCBLibraries.com/forum/thermal-relief-in-pads-using-fp-designer_topic1540_post7192.html#7192 <![CDATA[Thermal Relief in Pads Using FP Designer : All Allegro interface issues were...]]> https://www.PCBLibraries.com/forum/thermal-relief-in-pads-using-fp-designer_topic1540_post6259.html#6259 Author: Tom H

Hi Tom,

I cannot turn out in the Allegro of the Thermal Relief.

What happens then?

Thank you!!

We discovered an issue with "Slotted Hole" Thermal Relief for the Allegro interface.

The bug has been validated and fixed in the V2015.08 pre-release which will be available soon.

In FP Designer you create pad stacks in the "Pad Stack Designer".

Then when you select "Done" the program opens the "Pad Stack Manager".

In the Pad Stack Manager, select the pad stack in the list and you can edit the Top, Inner and Bottom pad sizes and the Solder Mask size.

Select the "Hole" tab to edit the Thermal Relief and Anti-pad features.

Select the "OK" button on the bottom to regenerate the pad stack name.

Select the "OK" in the upper right corner to close the Pad Stack Manager.

I'm trying to build a through-hole part using the FP Designer, and the pad stacks it creates do not have thermal reliefs.

Is there something special I have to do to accomplish this?

I just upgraded from 2013 to 2015, and 2013 did create the thermal pad stacks.

I must be missing something stupid.
