Irregularly shaped pads
« on: May 05, 2012, 05:03:51 pm »
According to altium wiki (http://wiki.altium.com/display/ADOH/Creating+a+Custom+Pad+Shape), you can create custom shape pads by using various design objects to create the shape, then place a small pad inside to define the connection point. I created a custom footprint and did exactly that however the DRC shows errors at those points. What am I doing wrong? Is there any other option I need to check?

Thanks :)
