Placing Test Points: PADS Professional VX.2.7 has added a new methodology to interactively place test points. Users will now see highlighted nets that do not have enough test points and can right click – fit highlighted to directly view those nets. This net required two test points and once the requirement is satisfied, the previously highlighted net will be un-highlighted, indicating test point placement on that net is complete.
