Hover your mouse pointer over the hole and press the "E" key, which will open the *Pad Properties* dialog. You'll probably want to experiment with different values in the *Local Clearance and Settings* tab. The tab mentions, "solder mask and paste values are used only for pads on copper layers." Perhaps setting a custom thermal relief gap will give you the desired 0.050" clearance. Alternatively, you can right click on the hole and see all of the available actions. -- Paul Mullen _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
