# IPCB_Pad interface

A pad, the connection point of a component pin and of signal tracks, either on a single layer or multi-layer.

```csharp
public interface IPCB_Pad : IPCB_Primitive
```

**Namespace:** PCB · **Assembly:** Altium.SDK.Interfaces

**Inherits:** [IPCB_Primitive](https://altiumdeveloper.github.io/ad-sdk-docs/reference/pcb/IPCB_Primitive.md)

**Derived:** [IPCB_Pad2](https://altiumdeveloper.github.io/ad-sdk-docs/reference/pcb/IPCB_Pad2.md)

## Remarks

On a multi-layer pad, the shape and size on the top, middle and bottom layers can be assigned independently to define a pad stack. Surface mount components and edge connectors have single-layer pads on the top or bottom layer.

A pad is defined in one of three modes (`Mode`): simple, top-middle-bottom, or full stack, which allows different sizes and shapes on all signal layers. The corner radius of rounded rectangular pads is given by [`IPCB_Pad2`](https://altiumdeveloper.github.io/ad-sdk-docs/reference/pcb/IPCB_Pad2.md).

## Example

Create a pad with custom pad cache settings on a new PCB document.

```csharp
using DXP;
using PCB;

// Create a new PCB document.
var workspace = DXP.GlobalVars.Client.GetDXPWorkspace() as EDP.IWorkspace;
if (workspace == null)
    return;
workspace.DM_CreateNewDocument("PCB");
IPCB_ServerInterface pcbServer = PCB.GlobalVars.PCBServer;
if (pcbServer == null)
    return;
IPCB_Board board = pcbServer.GetCurrentPCBBoard();
if (board == null)
    return;

// Create a pad object.
var pad = pcbServer.PCBObjectFactory(TObjectId.ePadObject, TDimensionKind.eNoDimension, TObjectCreationMode.eCreate_Default) as IPCB_Pad;
pad.SetState_XLocation(EDP.Utils.MilsToCoord(3000));
pad.SetState_YLocation(EDP.Utils.MilsToCoord(3000));

// Set up a pad cache which has common values.
V7_PadCache padCache = pad.GetState_Cache();
padCache.ReliefAirGap = EDP.Utils.MilsToCoord(11);
padCache.PowerPlaneReliefExpansion = EDP.Utils.MilsToCoord(11);
padCache.PowerPlaneClearance = EDP.Utils.MilsToCoord(11);
padCache.ReliefConductorWidth = EDP.Utils.MilsToCoord(11);
padCache.SolderMaskExpansion = EDP.Utils.MilsToCoord(11);
padCache.SolderMaskExpansionValid = TCacheState.eCacheManual;
padCache.PasteMaskExpansion = EDP.Utils.MilsToCoord(11);
padCache.PasteMaskExpansionValid = TCacheState.eCacheManual;

// Assign the new pad cache to the pad.
pad.SetState_Cache(padCache);
int topLayerWidth = pad.GetState_WidthOnLayer(TV6_Layer.eV6_BottomLayer);
board.AddPCBObject(pad);

// Refresh the PCB document.
string parameters = "";
DXP.Utils.SetParamterValue(ref parameters, "Action", "All");
DXP.Utils.RunCommand("PCB:Zoom", parameters);
```

```csharp
int GetState_BotYSize();
void SetState_BotYSize(int argValue);
```

**Type:** `int` · **Access:** read/write

Assigning a value has no effect while `Mode` is `TPadMode.ePadMode_Simple`.

### Cache

The pad's cache of values derived from design rules, such as plane connection style, power plane clearance, relief settings and solder and paste mask expansion, each with its own validity state.

```csharp
V7_PadCache GetState_Cache();

The accessors are extension methods of `IPCB_PadHelper` (`using PCB;`).

Assigning a cache does not change the pad's tenting settings or whether its paste mask is enabled; they keep their previous values.

To change the cache, read `Cache`, change a field (for example set `SolderMaskExpansionValid` to `TCacheState.eCacheManual` and `UseSeparateExpansions` to true) and assign it back.

**Examples:** [Extension_Pad_SolderMask](https://github.com/AltiumDeveloper/ad-sdk-examples/blob/5b144f54740a53ec578b3b6c3f902b831e0b1144/Extension_Pad_SolderMask/Source%20Code/Commands.cs#L45)

```csharp
void ClearStackSizeAndShapes();
```

**Returns:** nothing (`void`)

### DefinitionLayerIterator

Returns an iterator over the layers for which the pad has a size, shape or corner radius stored.

```csharp
IPCB_LayerIterator DefinitionLayerIterator();
```

**Returns:** [IPCB_LayerIterator](https://altiumdeveloper.github.io/ad-sdk-docs/reference/pcb/IPCB_LayerIterator.md)

### InvalidateCache

Marks the pad's cached design rule values as out of date.

```csharp
void InvalidateCache();
```

**Returns:** nothing (`void`)

The pad's calculated sizes and shapes are marked out of date as well. [`UpdateCache`](#updatecache) recalculates the cached values.

### InvalidateSizeShape

Marks the pad's calculated sizes and shapes as out of date.

```csharp
void InvalidateSizeShape();
```

**Returns:** nothing (`void`)

They are recalculated by [`ValidateSizeShape`](#validatesizeshape), which reading [`XSizeOnLayer`](#xsizeonlayer), [`YSizeOnLayer`](#ysizeonlayer), [`ShapeOnLayer`](#shapeonlayer) or [`IsPadStack`](#ispadstack) also does.

### IsPadStack

Returns whether the pad has different sizes or shapes on its layers.

```csharp
bool IsPadStack();
```

**Returns:** `bool`

Returns false when `Mode` is `TPadMode.ePadMode_Simple` and true when it is `TPadMode.ePadMode_ExternalStack`. For `TPadMode.ePadMode_LocalStack` it returns true only for a multi-layer pad whose top, middle and bottom layers differ in shape, X size or Y size. The pad's calculated sizes and shapes are brought up to date first. Use this method before you change the properties of a pad stack.

**See also:** [TPadMode](https://altiumdeveloper.github.io/ad-sdk-docs/reference/pcb/TPadMode.md)

### IsSurfaceMount

Returns whether the pad is a surface mount pad.

```csharp
bool IsSurfaceMount();
```

**Returns:** `bool`

Returns true when the pad is on a signal layer (not `TV6_Layer.eV6_MultiLayer`) and either its hole has a size of 0 or `Mode` is `TPadMode.ePadMode_Simple`.

**Returns:** [TPlaneConnectionStyle](https://altiumdeveloper.github.io/ad-sdk-docs/reference/pcb/TPlaneConnectionStyle.md)

Extension method of `IPCB_PadHelper` (`using PCB;`).

The style of the connection comes from the applicable Power Plane Connect Style design rule: `TPlaneConnectionStyle.ePlaneReliefConnect` (a thermal relief connection) or `TPlaneConnectionStyle.ePlaneDirectConnect` (solid copper).

The method returns `TPlaneConnectionStyle.ePlaneNoConnect` when the layer is not an internal plane layer, when the pad is not on `TV6_Layer.eV6_MultiLayer`, when the pad has no net, or when the pad is not connected to the plane on that layer.

**See also:** [TPlaneConnectionStyle](https://altiumdeveloper.github.io/ad-sdk-docs/reference/pcb/TPlaneConnectionStyle.md)

### ReValidateSizeShape

Marks the pad's calculated sizes and shapes as out of date and recalculates them.

To rotate the pad without moving it, pass its own location ([`XLocation`](#xlocation), [`YLocation`](#ylocation)) as the point, or use the `Rotation` property.

### SolderMaskExpansionFromHoleEdgeWithRule

Returns whether the pad's solder mask expansion is measured from the edge of the hole, taking the design rules into account.

```csharp
bool SolderMaskExpansionFromHoleEdgeWithRule();
```

**Returns:** `bool`

When the solder mask expansion comes from the design rules, the applicable rule decides; when it is set manually, the result is [`SolderMaskExpansionFromHoleEdge`](#soldermaskexpansionfromholeedge). Returns false for a pad that is not on `TV6_Layer.eV6_MultiLayer`, and for a pad whose solder mask expansion neither comes from the rules nor is set manually.

### UpdateCache

Recalculates the pad's cached design rule values that are out of date.

```csharp
void UpdateCache();
```

**Returns:** nothing (`void`)

Covers the plane connection style and plane connections, the relief conductor width, entries and air gap, the paste mask and solder mask expansion, the power plane clearance and relief expansion, and the tenting of both sides. The pad's calculated sizes and shapes are brought up to date as well.

### ValidateSizeShape

Recalculates the pad's calculated sizes and shapes if they are out of date.
