The concept of Pad and Via templates that can be collected in a Library is not unlike that of PCB footprint libraries, although somewhat more basic. To raise the design reuse and management capabilities for Pads and Vias in PCB designs, Altium Designer also supports: automated Pad and Via template creation Pad and Via template Libraries and a number of associated Pad and Via management Panels. Each Pad and Via can be configured as a custom object during or after placement.
