I need some parts to be in the bottom/solder side of the board. But holes from top/component side were not visible. Then I could not hide a couple of them. Like the screen capture above.
PS Is it possible to have different pad sizes on the top and bottom of a thru hole pin.
I can’t explain my self how the visibility of thru holes work at the bottom of the board. It looks like a bug. This for example.
What exactly is the bug? It’s not obvious which part of the picture offends you.
Some guessing: the 3 purple pad-outlines?
You have switched off all layers (except the edge.cuts board-outline) in the appearance-panel. So the only graphic is the green board outline.
If you want to point to the 3 purple pad-outlines: these are only visible because the footprint PS1 is selected. Selected items remain visible despite changing the layer-setting on the appearance-panel. To get rid of these 3 holes: clear selection (ESC or click on empty space).
Is it possible to have different pad sizes on the top and bottom of a thru hole pin.
Not with easy setting on a dialog, but on principle: yes.
In the footprint-editor place a SMD-Pad (top or copper-side, you decide) next to (or better: directly above) the THT-Pad which should get a bigger surface.
Both pads (THT-pad and smd-pad) must have the same pad-number. Than Kicad merges both into one copper-area.
So you can modify top/bottom pad separately.
I had only solder side layer visible. And I tried to work with solder side parts, but it was difficult because I could not see the solder side pads of PTH parts. And then I couldn’t turn off even that last part.
Or to say it differently, solder side view should show solder side pads of PTH parts.
I don’t like it when I accidentally select parts from invisible layers. That makes working with one layer difficult.
