Suppress Inner Layer Pads

This option removes the pads associated with component pins and vias when they are not connected on that layer.

This maximises available board space for other routes.

 

This is done by checking the box 'Suppress Inner Layer Pads' in the Settings > Defaults dialog, under the General tab.

 

 

Additionally, the visibility of suppressed pads may be altered from the Tools > Options dialog, under the Display tab. This will improve redraw performance when using Suppress Inner Layer Pads on larger designs.
