Automatic solder mask / paste mask creation from tracks, shapes, zones, and other non-pad/via objects
Original title: No way in options to remove mask from traces (lp:#1762440)
Original report created by Jt Whissel (jtwhissel)
This is more of a feature request since I do not see it implemented. I
should be able to select traces and then have a checkbox in the context
menu somewhere to "disable or enable solder mask" for the traces selected.
This is very important when dealing with RF designs and high current
applications. Solder mask is not uniform enough to calculate the dielectric
for so it is best to remove it on transmission lines.
