Turn off Top Paste mask for a component

#1 Post by pebbert9 » 19 May 2011, 05:49

I have a tiny QFN-20 that I wish to make a custom paste mask for and not use the pads.

I can create the paste mask in the Pattern Editor and it flows through to the PCB layout, but I have to manually disable the Top Paste Mask for each of the 20 pins.

Is there a way to disable the Top Paste Mask on each pin in the Pattern Editor so when I place the component on a PCB it will automatically use the custom mask and not use the pads for that part?

No, it is not possible now, but this is in our plans.
