test point is ok but i am not able to put teardrops as the attached pdf only explains the option but not the procedure as detailed for test points.
can you please help me on how to put teardrops.
Can you provide the link from where I can download these pdfs.It will be very grateful.
To place teardrops on specific pads or vias:
1. Select the pads and/or vias
2. Go to Tools>>Teardrops
3. On the Teardrops dialog, check the boxes for "All Pads", "All Vias", and "Selected Objects Only".
4. Check the boxes for "Add", and the style you want.
5. Click on "OK", and you're done.
If you want to teardrop the whole board, just leave the box for "Selected Objects Only" unchecked.
If you want to override the design rules and force teardrops - even if they violate the clearance rules, check the "Force Teardrops" box.
If you want a report of the number of teardrops placed, check the box "Create Report".
You can get info similar to what I posted by hovering your cursor over the menu command, and pressing "F1". More info can be found by using the search option at the bottom of the Knowledge Center Panel that pops up when you press "F1". Additional info can be found in old Protel99SE documentation. Some functions (like teardrops, and testpoints) haven't changed since that older version of the software.
The Protel99SE handbook can be downloaded directly from the Altim website (
