Hello all,

Is it possible to create  template area  ( in CR5000 ) where smd pad will be completely flooded with copper and thru hole pin will have thermals?

  I think this is only possible by defining at the pin level of each device.

  This is called "work around". Don't believe that such powerful tool can't do it straight forward way.  It should be some "proper" way in setting of template area ...

  Robert,

  My name is Jeff Perry and I am an AE for Zuken. Our older product line CR-5000 allows a special environment variable to be set supplied by Zuken to allow you to clear or flood one pin at a time. You would reset the pin attribute to clear or flood and then re-pour the copper. Our premier product CR-8000 Design Force has this capability built in and has been out for several years now.

  Understand. Too bad that it was not introduced in CR5000.

  Thank you.
