[PCB_FORUM] Re: Buried discretes. How are FPs done?

We use different parts for each layer with the part selected in the
schematic for the layer they are going on.  It would be easy enough to set
it up with alternate symbols.  We also have different symbols depending on
the process (Ohmega-ply or Gould)

Hey users,

Not sure if this has been covered or not, but I'm researching a 'grey'
area again, and thought I'd bounce the question here first. When creating
the footprints for buried devices (resistors, caps, inductors, etc.) how
are the pads defined, so that the device can be used on various layers? Do
you make ALTERNATE parts with differently defined padstacks? Can I even
use conventional padstacks or do they need to be 'pad shape' defined pads?

Thought I'd check here for responses.

Good day.

Mitch
