Soldermask Check

VijiBala
VijiBala over 13 years ago

Hi,

I want to check whether the soldermask is provided for all the pads in the design. Is there a way to do this check automatically? Does anybody have the skill file to check the soldermask in the design?

It will be more appreciated if someone shares their thought.

Thanks in advance,

Viji
