The Unused Pad Shapes dialog
The Unused Pad Shapes dialog is used to remove any unused pad shapes. An unused pad shape is the pad shape in a pad or via that is not used on a layer (i.e. it has no other objects touching it on that layer). These unused pad shapes can consume valuable board area particularly when there are polygon pours on those layers. If unused pad shapes are removed, polygon clearances are to the pad or via hole rather than the edge of the unused pad shape.
The dialog is accessed from the PCB Editor by clicking Tools » Remove Unused Pad Shapes from the main menus.
