Round Rectangle corner radius control suggestion

 

Hello:

In the Pad Properties window, Round Rectangle properties, there is the "Corner size" option. It shows the calculated "Corner radius" as information.

Using IPC rules as guidelines, the maximum corner radius must be 25% of the pad width, with a maximum of 0.25 mm. If the pad is big enough, a 25% of the pad width yields a corner radius bigger than those 0.25 mm, and the % must be adjusted accordingly. For those cases, can the "Corner radius" control be editable so it drives the "Corner size" value?

Iñigo.
