• Fiducial Shape:  The width to use for the fiducial.  Choose from these available shapes.
  • Circle
  • Cross
  • Diamond
  • Hash
  • Oblong
  • Rectangle
  • Target
  • Butterfly
  • SButterfly
• Fiducial Width:  The width to use for the fiducial.  Typically this is 1mm.
• Mask Shape:    Mask shape are optional.  If Mask Shape is empty, or Mask Width is zero - no mask pad will be created, only the fiducial pad.  Choose from these available shapes,  
  • Circle
  • Rectangle
• Mask Width:  The width to use for the fiducial clearance and mask pad size.  Should be larger than the Fiducial Width.  Mask width is optional.  If Mask Shape is empty, or Mask Width is zero - no mask pad will be created, only the fiducial pad.
• Center Point X, Y:  Assign the center point for the fiducial.
• Fiducial Type:  Fiducial type is optional.  This will attach a Fiducial type attribute to each Fiducial pad created - primary used when exporting ODB++, IPC-2581, and other formats that retain this information.
  • Local
  • Global
  • Panel
• Layer(s):  Choose the layers you wish to have the fiducial created on.

IMPORTANT:  Relative Panel Coordinates are Recommended: 

You may use Relative Panel Coordinates requires the at-sign @    (See below link for examples)
