3. File and Folder Structure of PADS Layout Installation
After PADS installation, PADS software will create the following file and folder
structures by default. It consists of a lot of documents and sample files for reference.
The \Documentation folder contains tutorial documents of the software.
The \Libraries folder directory stores the PADS part libraries.
Such as *.ld9, *.ln9, *.pd9.*.pt9
The \Program folder contains the executable files.
The \Samples folder contains some example drawings.
The \Settings folder contains setting files of PADS Layout.
The default working folder path is: (Remark: the current directory path C:\PADS Projects)
The \CAM folder stores the output files of the CAM commands.
Such as *.REP, *.PHO ...etc.
The \Reuse folder stores files of the Reuse function.
The \Samples folder contains some example drawings.

4. Design Process Overview
Taking a new design from concept to completion requires a designer to pay attention to
many details. We all know that designing a printed circuit board is a continuous process
of making design decisions and tradeoffs.
Throughout the design process, you must weigh a
number of conflicting factors and make calculated
design choices in order to obtain the best possible
design outputs.
Knowing that your design tools have the ability to
provide and manage the required content gives you
a strong foundation on which to build your design.
PADS PCB Design Solutions offer a fully featured
front-to-back design flow that allows you to balance
rules and constraints in an intelligent and
predictable manner to produce quality designs that
can be easily produced.
Though there are hundreds of operations you must
perform to produce a final design, we can distill the
process down to a few basic steps:
1. Gather the required library parts.
2. Capture the schematic.
3. Generate a netlist.
4. Construct the board outline.
5. Set up the design rules and constraints.
6. Place the components.
7. Route the board.
8. Verify the design.
9. Generate the CAM documents.

The system database and working area has a maximum horizontal and vertical value of
56.3 inch or 143 cm. The database is a square area. It has a resolution of 0.00001 inch
or 0.001mm. The origin is in the lower left hand corner of the screen.
5.1.3 Menu Windows:
The PADS Layout interface uses standard menus and dialog boxes common to UNIX
and Microsoft Windows application.

5.1.5 Modeless Commands
Modeless commands usually apply to specifications that must commonly be changed in
any mode; leave, grid, or line width must be altered when editing text, drawing lines,
routes or any other database element. With the modeless command G , for example,
you can change by typing G , and the new setting . You can change the current level by
typing L and the new desired level.
Summary of frequently used modeless PADS Layout commands:
AA Any angle G<xx> Grid global setting
AD Diagonal angle L<n> Changes current layer to specified
AO Orthogonal angle N<s> Highlights specified net
D

Redraw : Repaints the screen without changing the size or position of viewing
window.
Home : Move the cursor over the data which you wish to appear in the centre of
the screen. The display is re-drawn so the area under the cursor is moved to
the centre of the viewing area, with no scale change.

6. Exercise 1: PADS Environment Setup
6.1 Set up Global Parameters
Tools OptionsGeneral
Cursor Style: Display the cursor as an arrow, which is normal, a small cross, a large
cross, or a Full screen cross hair.
Cursor Pick Radius: Enter the radius of picking area from cursor. Control the picking
area of object from the cursor. The biggest the value is, picking
area from cursor is larger.
Units Type: Mils (thousands of an inch), metric units or inches.
Minimum Display Width: The minimum display width for any lines. Any line width
is less than this value, its actual width will be shown.
Backup Interval: Allow user to set the backup interval in minutes. Backup copy will
be saved automatically whenever interval is reached. The backup
file name is layout.pcb.
When the Command is selected, the screen displays a pull-down menu. To select
A parameter setting, selects it with the Mouse, enter a new value and click <OK >

14. Exercise 8: Create Parts Library
In this chapter we will learn some basics of creating parts and storing them in the parts
library. Although the library consists of many common parts in the general design, very
often you need to create some parts to be used in your own design, and hence build up
your own library.
When you are creating a new part you must always remember that there are two separate
entries you will need to make. These are :
1. The Part Decal ---A Part Decal is the footprint of a component used to display the
component at the screen or on a plotter. You can create your own
part decals with the Create Part Decal command . These will be
saved to the Part Decal database of the User Library. Outlines and
part Stack assignments for a part Decal are included in the Part
Decal database.
2. The Part Type --- The Part Type database contains the electrical data for each part in the
database. Electrical data consists of gate information, pin information,
technology, ground and power pin identification , and other related item
, Each part is entered into the Part Type database and is cross referenced
to its associated Part Decal by the Part Decal name contained in the part
type . Create and modify the part type data with the Create, Part Type
routine of PADS .
The Same Part Decal can be used for many different parts . Part Decal DIP14 , for example ,
is the footprint for a 14 pin DIP and can be used on all 14 Pins IC contained in the in the
part type database in either the User area or the Standard area .

PADS Layout Training Manual 51
14.1 Create and Setup a New Library
PADS shops with three libraries called:
TTL ... for 5400 and 7400 series parts.
STD ... for all but 5400 and 7400 series parts.
USR ... for parts you create.
Each of these libraries consists of four database :
1. 2-D line ( non - electrical drawn items )
2. CAE Decals ( contain pin and gate information )
3. Part Decals ( physical extent of the part )
4. Part Type ( The information needed to access the different databases )
File Library Create New lib ( Your Student Number ) OK
Library list Add (Your Student Number) OK
Select the <Your student Number> library and press UP bottom
to rearrangement the select position of library
Electronics Unit , Industrial Centre , The Hong Kong Polytechnic University
PADS Layout Training Manual 52
Setup Library
Choose File/Library to open the Library Manager. Use the library Manager to perform operations
associated with editing and copying the contents of libraries,
When you add a part to the design, you are actually retrieving information about that part from the library.
The Manage Lib List dialog box contains a list of libraries to search.
Choosing Manage Lib list , select the <\user.> library and press Add bottom to add the training library
( enc_training_e.pt9 ) from C:\PADS Projects or other location .
