Hi Steve,

We put a circle on the outline layer.

Cheers, Dave

Hi,

Does anyone know how to display padless non plated holes in Allegro? eg the hole for a plastic polarising pin.

We have done a bit of a work around by putting a resist layer
in the NP padstack slightly larger than the pin. Then you can turn
the resist layer on to see the (whole?) hole. Kind of painful.

From memory, in Veribest, hole visibility was controlled just like
any design element, on/off, colour etc.

Is there a way to do this in Cadence, or does anyone have a better idea/solution?

Cheers,

Steve.
