Helllo, On gerber generation, have you checked the "vias on mask" box?
Pedro. > Hi, > I have been working with several PCB manufacturers who usually complain about the vias being covered with solder resist (I believe "tented" is the correct term). When I generate the gerbers from KiCAD, I can see that no openings for the VIAs are operated in the solder mask, which means that basically the vias are covered in solder mask (green stuff). > Is there an automated way to make solder mask openings around all the vias in the design (I mean, a different way than doing it manually for every via, with zones)? > > I am familiar with the "Mask Clearance" setting under the "Dimensions-> Traks and vias" menu, but it does not seem to operate on vias. > > Thanks in advance, > Cristian > > > >
