Joel, Clicking Testpoint just marks it as a testpoint for output, but does not even automatically untent the via. So it would allow you to have soldermask on a test point. Hum, they might complain about that in the test department. Seems the only solution/work around is create

Hello, Has anyone figured out a work around so test points will only be exposed on the tested side and tented on the untested side (like under fine pitch SMT components)? Editing the Gerber's is the only way I know to do this now. :( I would prefer something that be reproducible after

The way I do this is to simply plot the soldermask for the side with the testpoints normally, and then select the testpoints, and edit the soldermask expansion for them to be negative, (ex: 30 mil TP gets -15mil expansion) and plot the opposite side to bury them in the mask. Reed Woltering
