Re: gEDA-user: soldermask over vias and stuck footprints

[DJ Delorie <dj@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

IMHO the smallest drills are vias, and bigger drills are pins.  At
least, if you have an untended drill of size N, any tented drill of
size >N will give an error.  I don't think there's any special "flags"
in PCB that are going to change this.

If the keepout circle is for your own reference, you'll have to either
(1) remove or reduce it so that it doesn't go over the edge, or (2)
expand your work area and use an explicit outline layer (rename a
copper layer "outline").  PCB by default (i.e. without coding changes
or manual hacking the .pcb file) won't let you place silk outside the
work area.  That you happen to have something too big to meet this
rule just means pcb acts strangely ;-)

And lastly, source control.... yeah, we took care in the pcb load/save
file to preserve the relative ordering of things so that diffs from
board to board due to edits were minimal.
