gEDA-user: vias clear soldermask
Hello List, I have an question about the vias in pcb. If i would make an area of vias for breakout stuff, and i want to keep the solder mask away from this vias. How can i make that ? is there an way in the gui? or can i add the clear mil in the pcb file with my text editor ? thanxs, Michael ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user

If you need larger rectangular areas free from solder mask, then you can use special footprints consisting of only one pad, and put that footprint where you want the free area. I did this for my DSO board to get free areas for thermal pads for hand soldering. Wait -- S key seems to be wrong. I have to test, will be back soon... ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user

Do not forget to make the solder mask visible before. ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
