Custom Footprint Shape with Custom Pad - NI Ultiboard

Sometimes it is necessary to create a custom shape out of an existing footprint or to modify the solder mask/paste of a custom pad.  This guide will show you the various steps to aid in the custom pad / footprint component in Ultiboards.

The Vishay Siliconix - SI3493BDV P Ch MOSFET is used as an example as it has a unique thermal Drain pad recommended for several physical footprint pins.  This requires creating a custom pad and modifying the solder mask/paste to match the recommended footprint for this component.
