Re: gEDA-user: soldermask relief in PCB

[DJ Delorie <dj@delorie.com>]

Create a new pad for the part with a thickness of zero, setting the
x,y points and mask such that the resulting mask is the dimensions you
need.  The gerber module will omit the flashes for the pad itself and
its paste, but will still flash the mask.

I haven't tried this, but the code says it will work.  Assuming it
lets you do a pad with thickness of zero in the first place.

Good luck ;-)
