It seems to me that when I finish a design (after generating gerber files), my solder mask top/bottom have voids (open areas) for all pads by default. Can I change it to a certain distances away (let's say 5 mils away) from each pads? I tried looking into the padstacks in allegro and the library creater. None gave such choices. So I'm assuming Allegro generates soldermask to surround all pads by defaults....? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! -- Regards, Judy Huang
