PCB Layout - Preview bug?

#1 Post by Tomg » 05 Feb 2017, 02:41

In the PCB Layout editor's Preview tool (File > Preview...) the selection choices listed in the Objects drop-down menu include the Solder Mask and Paste Mask, but they do not appear to do anything. Is this a bug or am I neglecting something? See the following thread to see a discussion about trying to print out the Solder Mask - http://www.diptrace.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=11423

Solder Mask and Solder Paste options turn on/off custom solder mask shapes if they exist on board. These options do not work for solder mask/paste of pads and vias. They are generated automatically while gerber export.
