While routing the boards many PCB design softwares define various properties of the PADS which are required by the Fabricators. One of the property is whether designer wants a Solder Mask feature for a particular pad with a 'Tenting' or 'Override' option during PCB fabrication. Can someone tell me whats meant by tenting or override in this regard. Thanks, Adeel Malik, SI engineer, Islamabad, Pakistan.
