Am I missing something? OK, I'll answer my own question. Of course I was missing something. A quick scanning of pcb source code showed that the solder mask opening of zero is a problem. I changed the 'Msk' value for my paste pads to the same value as the other pads, and it works fine. Sorry for the noise! I'm planning to try out Ryan Ohara's laser-cut Kapton stencils. Has anyone else here used this service before? Regards, Colin P.S. as I'm ready to post this, I see DJ responded with the answer about my mask=0 as well. Thanks!
