Leaving a Lasting Imprint (or in this case, footprint)

Where symbols are all about information in a dimensionless schematic, footprints are about the real-world component in a PCB layout. All too often, it is a footprint that causes the respin of a board.

This month, we will work through several footprint examples, surface mount, and thru-hole. Also, we will cover:

• Tips and tricks when creating unusual pads
  

• Demo the new Via Pad library introduced in AD15
  

• Provide some insight about tolerances
  

• Demonstrate some of the lesser-known, but very practical features
  

Note that we will not discuss the footprint wizards in Altium Designer. These have been covered in other videos.
