SettheGrid
Use the GRID command to set an appropriate grid size for the pad
placement. 0.05 inch (i.e. 50 mil) is usual for standard components with
leadwires.
SolderPads
For a resistor with lead-wires, select PAD, and set the pad shape and the
drill diameter in the parameter toolbar. The default value for the pad di
-
ameter is auto (respectively 0). This value should be kept. The actual di
-
ameter is specified by the Design Rules for the layout. Then place two
pads at the desired distance. The origin of the drawing will later be the
identifying point with which a component is selected. For this reason it
shouldbesomewherenearthecenterofthedevice.
