Re: Stop Mask for vias: two Limit fields   for top and bottom

e14 Contributor

I second this. Also, the info dialog with a via that has Stop on/off should

have tStop on/off and bStop on/off.

    Bravo...   Having just upgraded to 5.11, I find that there are hundreds of Stop-Mask errors.  99.9% of all of the errors are USELESS.  I always use fairly large pads to allow for easy prototyping, production assembly and service repairs.  Since you do not easily allow for different pad sizes on the top and bottom of the board, I cannot make the top pad small and the bottom pad large to prevent the Silk Screen from overlapping large pads.

     

    I see no good reason why you even added these warning messages.  They do nothing to enhanse the error checking aspects of your package.

     

    Checking for Silk Screen violations around Holes is a good thing.  Checking for Silk Screen overlaps on Pads is worthless.
