Subject:	[geda-user] pcb: solder mask clearance in DRC?
Reply-To:	geda-user AT delorie DOT com

Hi all,

Is it possible to somehow cause the DRC to flag up when solder mask 
clearance is too small for manufacture?

I have inherited several SO8 footprints to choose from, and I didn't 
notice that the one I picked had barely any SM clearance around the 
pads. This cost us an extra 5% when the board makers detected it was 
outside the standard specs for their process.

No blame, just nice to see this added to the next generation DRC.

Any comments please?

Regards,
Matt RR.
