[PEDA] Short Circuit: Pad/Fill

2001-11-19 Thread Tim Fifield
I've created an odd footprint for a SMT Current Sense Resistor. Each L shaped "pad" on the footprint consists of a pad and a copper fill attached to it because I want the solder mask on the fill. Anyways, when I run DRC I get a short circuit error between the fill of the "pad" and the pad of the
