  1. Open Utilities, Pad Stack Calculator.
  2. Select Round Lead Shape
  3. Reduce Roundoff to 0.010
  4. Designer Builds SMT rectangular pad (r120_70)
  5. Re-select Round Lead shape.
  6. Round-off goes back to 0.050.
  7. Change Round-off to 0.010.
  8. Designer builds SMT rectangular pad again.

I can't duplicate that changing round off gets a SM pad in the TH view.
Round off will be enabled for all operations.

Was this completed for 2013.10?  I tested it and when I change the round-off, I get a SMT pad while still in the Through Hole view.
 
Also, can you have the Round-off available in the Utilities Padstack calculator as well.

Actually, it should reflect the current preference.
Bug fix in progress...
Thanks.

The round-off setting is greyed out.  Is there another place to set it?

Pad stacks generated for the FP designer are created directly in the Pad Stack Designer when you create the pad stacks you're going to use in your footprint.
You'll find the option for round-off there.  Once a pad stack has been created the round-off will remain the same even if the preference is changed.
The same is true for the mask settings.

I was able to change the Through-hole Padstack Round off in my default preferences.

I see it affect the standard through-hole parts, but I do not see any affect in the FP Designer.
 
Could we get access to change the Round-off in the FP Designer?

You can change the round-off, or any value for that matter, by creating your own Defaults.
You do that in Setup > Default Preferences.  Select File > Save As [MyDefaults for example].
Then change any of the values you want and save.
Back in Setup > User Preferences change the 'Default Preferences File' to your new file name.

Yes.  You can change either the user preferences (in Setup > User Preferences) or create your own default preferences (in Setup > Default Preferences) where the Terminal > Through Hole preferences (there are two) have the Pad Size Round-off set to the value you want. 
If changing the User preference you must also change the Fabrication Level to User.
If creating your own default preferences you must also change the source file for defaults in Setup > User Preferences.  Let me know if you'd like an on-line demo.

Can I change the round off for the Proportional fabrication level?  The User level does not give us the flexability for all the variations that the Proportional level has.]]> Tue, 25 Jun 2013 11:48:44 +0000 https://www.PCBLibraries.com/forum/throughhole-padstack-roundoff_topic982_post3753.html#3753
