How do i create paste layers?

FAB3000 can extract the Paste Layer from your existing Mask and Drill layers.


  • Go to menu: Fabrication | Generate Paste Layer(s)...  verify the options (see below), and press OK to create the Paste Layers.


Create Top Paste:  Check this option if you wish to have a Top Paste layer generated.  FAB3000 will determine if you have a Top Mask layer already, and if yes select this option.


Create Bottom Paste:  Check this option if you wish to have a Bottom Paste layer generated.  FAB3000 will determine if you have a Bottom Mask layer already, and if yes select this option.


Clearance from Mask:  This is the annular ring between Mask and Paste.  Default: 0


Maximum Pad Size:  Assign the maximum Pad dimensions that will be referenced in your generated paste layer(s).  Any Paste Pads with dimensions larger than this value are omitted.   Default: 300 mils (7.62mm).


Pad Selection:  Choose what Pad Mask object types will be referenced in your generated paste layer(s).  Default: Flashes Only
