A testpoint is a location where a test probe can make contact with the PCB to check for correct function of the board. Use the Testpoint Settings to define this pad as a testpoint for Fabrication and/or Assembly testpoint file generation. When these conditions are met, a jumper connection is shown as a curved connection line in the PCB Editor. The component must also have its Type set to Jumper. A jumper connection can only be created between the pads within the same component footprint, they must have the same Jumper ID value, and must also be assigned the same net.
ALTIUM DESIGNER 20 LOCKED ITEM SOFTWARE
The Jumper ID value tells the software which pads to treat as 'connected'. Jumper components can be used on a single-sided PCB when there will be a wire link that physically connects the pads together, rather than using tracks to create the connection. Jumper ID - Set the Jumper ID to a non-zero value (range of 1-1000) to indicate that this pad is part of a jumper component footprint.In this situation, lock the component to prevent accidental movement. Note that the Locked checkbox has no effect on a pad that belongs to a component, if the component is not locked the pads will move when the component is moved. If this option is unchecked, the primitive can be freely edited without confirmation. If you try to edit a primitive that is locked, you will be informed that the primitive is locked and asked if you wish to proceed with the action. Lock a pad whose position or size is critical. Locked - Enable to protect the pad from being edited graphically.If both plated and non-plated pads exist in a design, the non-plated holes will be set to use different tools from the plated holes in the NC drill files. Plated - This option determines whether or not the pad has a plated hole.The Net property of a primitive is used by the Design Rule Checker to determine if a PCB object is legally placed. Select No Net to specify that the pad is not connected to any net. Change the net assignment by clicking in the field and choosing a net from the drop down list. Net - The net that the pad is currently assigned to.Pads can be assigned to any available layer, Set the Layer to Multi-Layer to define a pad shape on all signal layers. Layer - The layer the pad is currently assigned to.Note that multiple pads within the same component footprint can share the same designator, if required. Edit the value in this field to change the pad designator.

If the designator begins or ends with a number, the number will auto-increment when placing a series of pads sequentially.

Free pads can include a designator, or the field can be left empty. The designator can be up to 20 characters in length and cannot include any spaces. If the pad is part of a component, the designator is usually set to the corresponding component pin number.

The value specifies the diameter of the hole (in mils or mm) to be drilled in the pad during fabrication.
