Hi all,
I need for a PCB design a long or oval soldering pad.
Unfortunately I was not able to use the editor to create an own one.
I do not use fritzing very often but I like it so much.
Probably I do not have enough expirience and a struggeling workflow!?
I will be grateful for any help.
Thanks
Cappy
This post likely has what you want.
OK here is a new part. Turns out I was wrong, you probably couldn’t make this easily the third row causes an issue in pcb:

even with the finest (8mil) traces DRC won’t pass to run wires in to the middle pin. Luckily I had already solved this issue for a RaspberryPI GPIO connector and can use the same bits here:

Note in both cases I needed to set the grid size to 0.05in from the default 0.1in to get the wires routed between the pins. On the final part with 16mil trac…
The path in the pcb svg creates the oblong pad on top of the circle that drills the hole (you need both for it to work). If you provide an image or data sheet for the part you want I can make one easily enough.
