Posted - 26 Feb 2015 : 16:31:43 Under particular circumstances I have defined track size larger than pad size ,for example when small picth packages component (MOSFET) have more than one pin to connect power signal . When i run autorouter the size of the track connected to the pad is larger than pad width itself causing poor design . Can you suggest a strategy to avoid this problem or to correct it in an automated way?
