Purpose

Two close pads may bridge during imaging, etching, plating or soldering, and result in a direct short.

 

Function

Reports electrically unconnected pads (in the same layer) that are closer than the action parameter pp_spacing . Measurements are spacing segments, provided the segment only touches copper at its end points.

If the classify_pad2pad ERF variable is set to Yes, the measurements that will be reported will be between pads that are both non-drilled and non-SMDs.
