How to get the padstack's information like as: Begin Layer, End layer, soldermask and pastemask, etc? with one command.
Is there any skill file to run the same?
How to measure air gap between solder mask pin to solder mask pin?

    Regarding your first point: "How to get the padstack's information..."

    You can run the report command from a Dos Prompt or Unix Shell on the padstack file (.pad) with the following command: report -v pad .  This report does not require an special SKILL script because it is already part of the standard report tool.

    Here is an example:

    Command typed on the Dos Prompt: report -v pad pad30cir20d.pad pad30cir20d.rpt

    Below report is : pad30cir20d.rpt
