Settings Tab

This tab manages soldering rules for components and packages:

  • Rule Selection:
    • Custom: Define specific rules for a component (and its inheriting objects).
    • Inherit: Use settings from the parent object.
  • End Offset: Defines the drag-off path length as a percentage of the nozzle width.
  • Nozzle Speed: Initial speed for all connected locations.
  • Pin Length: Determines the minimum spacing between pin rows to prevent solder bridges.
  • Safe Distance: Extra clearance beyond the nozzle width to avoid SMD component interference.
  • Soldering Nozzle:
    • Select from pre-loaded nozzles.
    • Multiple nozzles can be checked for optimal pathfinding.
  • Stay Time: Time the nozzle remains at key points (e.g., start locations or predefined spots).
  • Track Layout: Defines track connections within a component.
