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.

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. -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!) ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user

> 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. ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user

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.

Should be relatively easy. At least I will create a feature request for sourceforge bugtracker.

Re: gEDA-user: Howto make solder mask extend equal for all pads in layout?
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 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. ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
