 Also works for mask, if you select the mask layer before running it.
 

A late response...

For mask changeclearsize() seems not to act on distance of mask relief
to copper but on total relief size. So changeclearsize(selected,8,mil)
will not make the relief 8 mil larger than pad (as desired by me)

For copper clearance changeclearsize() works fine.

To adjust mask DJ's solution seems to work perfect:

There is a MinMaskGap() action to increase the mask gap to vendor
minimums.  What you can do is this:

* Enable the mask layer

* Select everything that needs the mask set

* Use Ctrl-Shift-K to reduce the mask as much as you can for
  everything selected

* :MinMaskGap(Selected,=8,mil) to increase them all to that amount

You work for Apple? Cool.

Yes, Apple laptops are very nice... will certainly take a good look at
the Mac Book Air when I bite the bullet and look for a replacement
machine. A bit expensive, but nice. With the thin-ness though, I'm
woried there just can't be any gap behind the LCD, and that it might
make it more vulnerable to being damaged.

There is a MinMaskGap() action to increase the mask gap to vendor
minimums.  What you can do is this:

* Select everything that needs the mask set

* Use Ctrl-Shift-K to reduce the mask as much as you can for

* :MinMaskGap(Selected,=8,mil) to increase them all to that amount

If you're adventurous, you could look up the sources for MinMaskGap()
and add a SetMaskGap() that does the same thing, but forces it to a
specific value.  Should be relatively easy.

Great!

Is there something similar for copper clearing of pads/pins in polygons?

At least I will create a feature request for sourceforge bugtracker.

Ah crud... just realised I've got a cat-hair re-assembled into my LCD
panel. (Aside from the couple of hot-columns and failed left hand half.

 changeclearsize(selected,10,mil)

I keep forgetting about that, because it reduces the clearance on
bigger clearances too, which usually isn't what I want.
