Diptrace and the paste mask

Alex.Stanfield

When using Diptrace for schematics and layout you can print pretty much all you need for DIY stuff, but you are not able to print a paste mask. You can export a paste mask which is great.

Now the question is what SW do you use for printing a paste mask that you can use as artwork in building a stencil?

Any experience on this?

You want to etch your own stencil?
export gerber (top paste)
import gerber (new, convert to: Top)

A gerber does not know what it's, so you can import it to any layer/type.
