We have both editable mask and paste in pcb-rnd now.

It was the mask that worked by the time I wrote that mail and I promised to get the paste woring the same way "soon". Well, "soon" is now. As of r8431, the paste layer can be edited the same way: - adding and removing paste anywhere on the board - full control over the auto paste layer: can turn it off, can invert it - any order and combination of positive/negative, auto/manual paste logical layers can be set up to form a physical past layer group - the two paste side don't even need to have the same logical layer structure - by now the cross section view allows the user to easily manage the logical layers even within a layer group: drawg&drop reorder, add new logical layers, remove existing logical layers. It now takes less than 30 seconds to set up a complex set of custom +- paste layer combination using the GUI. Might publish a video tutorial later on. (The actual coding for the editable paste layer in core took about 15 minutes because by now we have a strong, generic infrastructure for composite drawn layers. It takes more time to remove all the obsolte special behavior paste layer code from the HIDs) Regards, Igor2
