Hello All, new here, looking for some PADS help.
I'm a longtime Altium user, recently hired into a company using both Altium and PADS. Mostly a learn as I go thing for PADS. I've been rebuilding the library for this company, it's had too many hands messing around and things are broke. As standard practice, on the pad stack I add a solder mask and a paste mask definition on those layers. Most of the parts in this library do not have that. I guess you can do it when you run gerber, but I like to see it on the board as I design. The problem I'm having is when I add a part on the top side of the board, the solder mask for that part is only visible as bottom mask. On parts added to the bottom, the mask is only visible as top mask. This is happening on existing layouts. When I create a new layout from scratch, everything seems to work OK. Any suggestions on how to correct this?
Thanks,
Bruce N
