Parameters
| Parameter |
Description |
| topMode |
Set the mode for the top layer of the PCB. Specify one of the following values:
| FWiz.SOLDERMASK_STANDARD |
Indicates that for this type of pad the aperture value in the solder mask is adjusted by the value set in the Project. |
| FWiz.SOLDERMASK_FREE |
The value of the opening in the solder mask corresponds to the shape of the expanded pad according to the value specified for the parameter topExp. |
| FWiz.SOLDERMASK_FREEHOLE |
The value of the opening in the solder mask corresponds to the shape of the expanded hole according to the value specified for the parameter topExp. |
| FWiz.SOLDERMASK_COVERED |
Indicates that this type of pad does not have an opening in the solder mask. The pad is completely covered with the solder resist. |
| FWiz.SOLDERMASK_FILLED |
This indicates that for this type of pad the hole must be completely filled (Via Fill).
This is done by covering the pad and the hole with a second layer of solder resist. To display the mask for Via Fill you need to set the relevant option in the properties of the layer (top or bottom solder resist) in the view. |
|
| topExp |
Specify how much the shape of the pad or hole should be expanded to create the opening in the solder mask.
Typically the shape for the solder mask is larger than that of the pad. |
| botMode |
Set the mode for the bottom layer of the PCB. Specify one of the following values or -1 to use the same parameters as the top layer:
| FWiz.SOLDERMASK_STANDARD |
Indicates that for this type of pad the aperture value in the solder mask is adjusted by the value set in the Project. |
| FWiz.SOLDERMASK_FREE |
The value of the opening in the solder mask corresponds to the shape of the expanded pad according to the value specified for the parameter topExp. |
| FWiz.SOLDERMASK_FREEHOLE |
The value of the opening in the solder mask corresponds to the shape of the expanded hole according to the value specified for the parameter topExp. |
| FWiz.SOLDERMASK_COVERED |
Indicates that this type of pad does not have an opening in the solder mask. The pad is completely covered with the solder resist. |
| FWiz.SOLDERMASK_FILLED |
This indicates that for this type of pad the hole must be completely filled (Via Fill).
This is done by covering the pad and the hole with a second layer of solder resist. To display the mask for Via Fill you need to set the relevant option in the properties of the layer (top or bottom solder resist) in the view. |
|
| botExp |
Specify how much the shape of the pad or hole should be expanded to create the opening in the solder mask.
Typically the shape for the solder mask is larger than that of the pad. This value is not used if botMode is -1. |
Return Value
If the operation ends correctly, it returns true otherwise it returns false.
