Re: Solder Mask

Yes, you can create solder mask opening by adding a filled polygon on the solder mask layer. Please note that solder mask layer is in negative polarity, so anything you draw on that layer, will have no solder mask.

How Can I run trace with different width through a Via?

For some users that want to have different width for a trace on two different layers of the board connected by a VIA. You can not adjust the width for one trace going through a VIA to another layer. The only work around is use the add pin tool to add a pin to act as your VIA.

Standard library part error, Pin Name mismatch.

There is a bug in the PCB123. Pin name is different between the schematic symbol and footprint. You can work around this by selecting the part from the layout side and add it to your design. This way it will not give you error message, but will give you a different symbol. The cause of the this erro...

How to remove copper from a copper pour, the work around.

For the current version of PCB123 (After version 4.1.16.0), different filled polygon will be blend together if they are overlap. The work around for this right now, is to separate your filled copper pour into smaller sections, and then move them together like the sample below:

This is a consequence of a bug in PCB123 that is encountered when a pin is connected to a net on the schematic that is marked as “Do Not Optimize” in the layout’s “Edit Properties/Edit Nets” dialog. When the “Do Not Optimize” flag is set on a net, PCB123 will actively attempt to not modify a net’s r...
