Creating a Test Land (Test Pin)

A Test Land, also referred to as a Test Pin or Test Point, is a point used for board electrical tests.
The following will explain the method for "Placing to Schematics and PCBs", and for "Placing to PCBs Only".

When Placing to Schematics and PCBs

Create Test Points using a component, and then place them at arbitrary locations on both schematic drawings and PCB drawings.
With this method, it is an annotation target.

When Placing to PCBs Only

Test Lands can be placed as a batch to PCB drawings. (Create Test Land Automatically)
By having Test Land attributes, Test Lands are outside the annotation target for schematics.

With this method, it is an annotation target.
(1) Register Test Pin shape symbols and Test Land footprints by creating a component.
Place a check next to "Set as Unmounted Component".

 


When Placing to PCBs Only
Test Lands can be placed as a batch to PCB drawings. (Create Test Land Automatically)
By having Test Land attributes, Test Lands are outside the annotation target for schematics.
(1) Execute Create Test Land Automatically, or when placing a footprint, set the test point type to "Test Land".
