I will write separate >announcements about these when they are implemented First new features: 1. optional pad_paste_ratio When specified, paste size is copper size multiplied by this number. 2. optional pad_paste_offs (mm or mil) When specified, paste size is copper size plus this value If multiple sources try to set paste dimensions, the logic is as follows: 1. if there is a per footprint generator script value, we are going to use that 2. else if there's an absolute value (pad_paste) for the paste thickness, we use that 3. else if there's an offset (pad_paste_offs), use that 4. else if there is a ratio (pad_paste_ratio), use that Note: this feature is in the common code of parametric footprints, not in pcb-rnd. Once the footprint is generated, the actual shape and size of the paste is hardwired numerical data and does not depend on copper shape any more. In other words these values affect how the generator works, but once the footprint is generated, the paste shape becomes independent. However, one can always change the parameter and re-generate the footprint and replace the old with the new, in-place. Regards, Igor2
