Pad Snapping

The Pad Snapping action's primary function is to move any pad on the Affected layer to the corresponding center of the drill hole location in a reference layer. This action is required mainly due to rounding errors as a result of outputting data with insufficient decimal precision (e.g. 3 digits after the decimal point when units are in inches).

Special Reports

The histograms of all three categories are listed in the report, including names and counts of pads which were adjusted.
