Well, i told you ;-)
The standard pads are for throughhole plated boards, they are always
too small for boards without that.
make oblong pads for ics and such, i make them 4mmx2mm i think.
and big round for resistors. if you plan to solder wires
directly to the board (without connectors) make HUGE pads for mech.
support.
good luck,
ST
and get some inkjet paper, far cheaper than PnP...
