Cool. About solder masks: I usually set those to the closest to the pad that the vendor allows, which usually means 1.5 mil or so away. Worst case, have the mask edge halfway between the pin and the plane.
I never trust the library's mask or clearance, I always bulk-update them once they're on the board. Yeah, it's something we need in the vendor and drc functions, as what I update them to depends on where I'm sending it to be made. For fine-pitch parts, I usually don't bother with mask between pads. However, 4pcb can do mask between 0.5mm pitch pads (seemingly perfectly, too, although I didn't spec them as tight as they produced!) Some of the "round" copper bits look jaggie. Is that the scanner, the design, or the board? _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
