checking paste and solder mask

stellar

 I would like a report or something that would tell me a pad has missing mask or paste. Exist? Trying to use the colors doesn't seem to work as the copper color just dominates. It would nice if the paste and mask when on changed the color of the copper.

     You could use the Padstack Definition Report, or you can go to Display>>Layer Priority to change which layer is on top

    Layer priority works well. I set my copper, mask and paste to the red,blue,yellow in the color matrix then cycle through with the priority selections. Great suggestion. Thanks.

    Hi Stellar,

    I have just received notice that the color priority problem will be fixed in 16.4 (CCR#794712).

    See the attached code for a Skill paste pad checking solution.
