Pedro & Bill, You are correct. I tried this and it works.
This seems to be a poor way to do this since any time I use this IC I will have to manually edit each pin. Luckily this particular one only has 4 pins. And since there is no way to visibly detect changes in PCBnew you have to check each pin in a Gerber viewer. Since you have both done this, what is your opinion on how a fix should be implemented? I think the module editor should implement this. I initially was thinking that the editor should just allow you to change the mask clearance. But I am wondering if also allowing another type of pad "BGA" would make better sense.
