Save the script in the appropriate folder and add it to the PADS script list.

• Variant reports -script extends partial list printing to produce not only partial lists and midpoints, but also PDF printouts of the Logic circuit diagram for each variant, and semi-automatically layout Step files (with unloaded ones removed). See demonstration video. User manual.
• Assembly Steps -script is a quick way to extract a few components for presentation in documents separately. It uses attributes, so it provides a way to control documentation at the library stage. User manual
• Text checker -script can be used to quickly check texts in a PCB file without overlaying layers and colours. It sorts them by layer, texts can be selected by clicking on the list, editing in Layout with the RMB-Properties function. User manual
• CAM print settings (gerber and ncdrill).
• IPC-D-365A script. Compared to the standard PADS export function, the script checks the offsets of the Gerber and Excello print specifications (the standard always uses 0.0 offset). If all documents have the same offset, it uses the same one for the IPC pull list, if different, it asks the user what was used. Of course, the most logical thing is to use the same offset for all, so it's easy to correct the document definitions at this point.
• Stacked via utility you can easily create pass-through combinations between layers. Once the layout is complete, you can use the software to print out the drill files for each layer of penetrations. The program saves you from having to define up to dozens of vias and combine numerous nc files. Latest version 1.38. (11.3.2020).
• Printing of centroids (script), SMD identification based on the drilling of the first pin.
• PADS Layout Script Wizard quick start guide. Example of a parts list printout with load coordinates in Excel format. The wizard generates a new VB script which can be run directly.
• Bi-directional Excel with Link script to get the coordinates of the PCB decals into Excel and back to Layout, e.g. test point pads with new coordinates. Tip: when returning coordinates from Excel to Layout, leave only the changed lines in the Excel coordinate list. This will speed up the running of the script.
