Totally OT, but I landed a new job (yay), and they use PADS. I'm used to Allegro. I'd like to create a drawing of test points on a finished PCB. In Allegro, here's what I'd do:
1) Create a new subclass somewhere for the elements I need for the drawing 2) Create a new Gerber "film" that contains all the classes/sub classes I need for the output drawing (things like the company logo, cartouche, etc that already exist in the database) 3) Then I'd copy the board outline,scale it, and copy the locations/ shapes of the test points to the new subclass.So far in PADS, I get the feeling you can't just copy a component's graphical lines onto a different layer (like manufacturing-details in Allegro 15.7)
What to do in PADS?
Basically I want a seperate drawing detailing the locations of the ~20 test points on the PCB without all the visual clutter of the thousands of 0201 parts.
TIA
