This command is used to report Pad Style entities of a pad or pin, for example, Pad Style Drill Diameter, Pad Style Pad Shape etc.
For a component pad, there is also an Original Style command to report the pad style entities from the original pad in the footprint. Use Is Style Overridden to test if a component pad has had its style overridden.
Using the dialog
These commands use the standard Edit Value command dialog. The dialog will allow you to make selections using the Value: field for the pad style commands required.
The Corner Radius field is only non-zero for style shape types that need a third parameter to define their dimensions. For example it is mainly used by Chamfered and Rounded Rectangles to define the size of their corners. It is also used by the Annulus shape to define its inner diameter, and by some other non filled shape types to define the thickness of the line used to draw them.

Set Layer
This command is used on a design prior to reporting pad styles to force the information reported from a pads style to be from the specified layer.
For example, use it to set to the paste layer before calculating the total SMD pad areas on that layer.
