To add, when using skill program to perform some padstack routines these
unused pads also selected resulting in time,
Even though its not affecting any design I would call as a "best
practice" .
Good day!!

Chris,
Thanks for the reply. I don't use Library Workbench, but I think I'll
start doing the "purge" on every design anyhow.

Gary,
Just FYI, if you ever want to use the Library Workbench (in Allegro
Design Workbench) then the library import facility requires that all the
parts are squeaky clean, including purging unused padstacks.

Hey guys,
Are you purging unused padstacks before sending your design to Fab
(Tools -> Padstack -> Modify Design Padstack, Purge -> All)?
If so, what is the benefit? What is the downside to not purging? Is it
simply a database cleaning function?
Thanks for any responses.
