I am trying to create a variant view in PADs Professional Layout that shows the unplaced components with an "X" displayed above them. Is there a way to do it? Or the only variant views that are possible to generate are in playing with the silkscreen or assembly layers?
Also, when a variant view is generated, a text and a red rectangle are shown over the unplaced components. How are they generated? Can they be modified? (An image of this is attached)
Thanks!
Have you looked at the Lesson on Variant Manager in the Evaluation Guide that is included in the install? It explains this fully.
You should find a Tutorial Directory and PDF in your WDIR directory.
Thanks, Vern
