Hmm, there's one problem with this: fped's visualization output gets quite confusing, because it suggests that some of the pad is covered by the solder mask. One way would be to generate the "real" solder mask by running a solder mask generating algorithm that's similar to KiCad's, but that's not trivial. If we do this or something equivalent, the next problem would be with the visual representation: if the solder mask hole is exactly like the pad, then all the layers can only be seen in the Postscript, while the solder mask would cover the pad in the GUI. One way to solve this would be to draw the solder mask outline as a line instead of a just making it a pad. Tricky. This needs some thought. By the way, did you notice that having multiple concentric pads with the name GND creates an interesting visual effect in the Postscript ? :-) - Werner _______________________________________________ gta02-core mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/gta02-core
