I have a legacy board design that I am supporting in PADS 9.1.
Right now, when ever I generate the gerbers for this board and send out for a paste stencil, I have to tell them to modify the paste file by deleting some of the openings and shrinking some of the openings. My preference is to modify the PCB so that it generates the files that I need without modification.
I figured out how to delete openings but now I want to figure out how to shrink Paste Mask Openings. I can go into the pad stack and modify the Paste Mask layer to the size I want but that doesn't seem to matter to generating the Paste Mask gerber file.
How can I modify paste mask openings in the layout?
