Categories Affected

v_ignore_gold_smd_without_sp

Determines whether to report all SMD pads (with attribute SMD Pad) lacking solderpaste or ignore those with the attribute Plated Feature.

no — Report all SMD pads without solderpaste. (default)

yes — Ignore SMD pads with attribute Plated Feature lacking solderpaste.

SMD Pad Without Solderpaste

v_sub_cat_default

Determines the attribute used in component classification.

Empty — If left empty, the system searches for User Type, if at least one package has a user type designation. Otherwise, it searches for Package Type. If not found, no classification according to component type is performed. (default)

Package Type — Component classification types assigned prior to import.

User Type — User-defined component classification types assigned prior to import

String — Any string identical to the desired component attribute name.

Mount Type — The mount type used by the component. [Possible values: SMT; THMT; PRESSFIT or Other]
