How do you create PCB inductors in PADS?

kbak Jan 30, 2017 1:58 AM

I need to create PCB inductors and trafos.

Preferrably I must be able to save them to the library for easier reuse.

PADS do not have a special function for this - like some other CAD tools has.

What is the best way?

regards

Klaus

Years ago had to do similar thing. Autocad guys made the shape and sent me DXF to import into PADS. Then converted to copper.

I agree. Otherwise your shape options are very limited in the decal designer. This is a 2-pin component with associated copper between the two pins.
