Apart from the suggestions given elsewhere (hand editing, reloading the file), another possibility under the GUI is: - make only the pins/pads visible (hide layers, silkscreen, vias) - show the soldermask layer - select all the pins/pads of the same size, very often this can be done quickly by selecting an area - use the command line interface ":" and type: changeclearsize(selected,new_value) where new value, could be 0.375mm for a 0.6mm pad (this gives 75um clearance). Annoyingly, the interface for solder mask value is different from the interface for copper clearance: you have to enter half the radius of the solder mask (for a circular pin) or half the width for a square or rectangular pad.
