The Teardrops dialog is used to add and remove teardrops from the design. Teardrops are often added to a routed PCB design to create stronger track-to-pad, track-to-via, and track-to-track connections. This is valuable when the design objects are very small, and is particularly valuable for drilled pads and vias because mis-alignment between the drill center and the pad/via center can result in the drill hole removing too much of the copper connecting the track to the pad/via.
The dialog is accessed by clicking Tools » Teardrops from the main menus.
Choose which objects to consider for teardrop addition/removal in conjunction with the coarse-level scoping defined in the Objects region of the dialog. When adding Teardrops, you can configure teardrop sizing as follows:
