Nothing comes in on the pads for assembly top or bottom in filled mode. I just tried outline mode and pads do show up on assembly top and bottom. ]]> Tue, 19 Nov 2013 17:41:56 +0000 https://www.PCBLibraries.com/forum/orcad-pcb-assembly-pads_topic1180_post4667.html#4667 <![CDATA[OrCAD PCB Assembly Pads : Ok.

Ok. That narrows the issue you're having a little better. So, in particular, filled assembly pads aren't coming in. Outlines are showing up properly, yes?]]> Tue, 19 Nov 2013 17:30:50 +0000 https://www.PCBLibraries.com/forum/orcad-pcb-assembly-pads_topic1180_post4666.html#4666 <![CDATA[OrCAD PCB Assembly Pads : Hi , I have the assembly top and...]]> https://www.PCBLibraries.com/forum/orcad-pcb-assembly-pads_topic1180_post4665.html#4665 Author: lalexman

Hi , I have the assembly top and bottom set to filled and verified they have a pad in the FPX viewer.
 
Attached are the FPX Orcad PCB files. It looks like those layers are not on the padstack in Orcad PCB  so they would have to be in the .SCR file ?. I do not see anything on the assembly top or bottom layer for the pads in the attached scr file.  Only the outline of the part and the pin 1 location.

Should be PACKAGE GEOMETRY / ASSEMBLY_TOP and PACKAGE GEOMETRY / ASSEMBLY_BOTTOM in a class / subclass format.

What layers are they placed in OrCAD PCB ?

In FPX, you select how you want the Pads on Assembly to be displayed.
 
Example:
  1. First select Through Hole, Header/Vertical (OK), then Reference
  2. Now Select the Settings tab to the right of the Dimensions Tab that is currently being displayed
  3. There should be a selection Pads On Assembly. The default is None (which is what you're seeing. You can set this to either be an Outline which is a circle that encompasses the Pad, or Filled which provides a filled Pad.
  4. After selection (select say Outline), Select OK. Now Change the Layer for the part to Assembly Top and each pad should have an Outline around it. Then select say Filled and Select OK.. it should then be a Filled Outline (i.e. a pad).

Hi,
 
I noticed that when generating footprints for OrCAD PCB (Allegro) there are not pads on the assembly layers. 
 
Is there a reason for this?
