Package editor: Custom padstack does not work in footprint generator about horizon HOT 6 CLOSED

This is due to the parameter program rearranging the shapes. You'll have to adjust the parameter program as well to suit your new padstack. The padstack you want to create can be created much easier by using the obround shape.

@carrotIndustries : It's a bit difficult to me to follow: You mean one would have to change the source code that the new padstack works? You mean that? Please explain slowly for me.

No, each padstack comes with a small program that takes care of modifying the padstack according to the parameters, i.e. moving shapes around and adjusting their size: https://github.com/carrotIndustries/horizon/wiki/Parameter-programs To edit the program, click the "Parameters..." button in the padstack editor. Then click "Apply" for running the program.

Puh, to be honest, it looks very difficult to me, to create rounded SMD edges.
Could it be possible that you add a rounded SMD pad-option to the pool?
Rounded SMD pads have better reflow paste characteristics and are therefore prefered by me.

horizon-eda/horizon-pool@176544b adds this padstack you'll need at leas 0a2210f for this padstack to work

@carrotIndustries Works so great! Thanks for the implementation.
