An easier way is to place a via. Place a via with different diameter than others. Find the via in text editor and change the solder mask clearance of that via. I have "power via" and "signal via" on my board. "power via" has a clearance so it can be filled with solder. vax, 9000 > > > -- > http://www.luciani.org >
