Hi Mário- Jeff is correct. You can also use the IsPadOnLayer() for this purpose because it defaults to IsOnLayer() when the pad hasn't been automatically removed. IsOnLayer will tell you if the object passes through the copper layer, or has a technical layer selected. IsPadOnLayer will return false if the copper annulus of a through-hole pad has been removed by the 'Remove unconnected pads' logic Otherwise, it will return the result of `IsOnLayer()` It's good practice to use IsPadOnLayer for D_PADs unless you want to know if the pad passes through a layer.
