Yes, my pcb file has pad definitions with the 10 arguments, with #5 
being the thickness (here 1.0000mm) and #7 the mask 'thickness' (here 
1.4000mm).

Yes, it works, great! And I also succeeded in adding some lines of code 
to do the same with through-hole pins.

Thanks, this saves me quite a bit of time!

Richard
