Hiding vias
Accepted solution
Hello Berita,
I hope you're doing well. It sound like you want the vias covered by the soldermask (aka tenting). The easiest way to do this is to go into the DRC > Masks tab. You'll see that there is a parameter there called Limit and by default it is set to "0".
Here's how it works. All vias whose drill value is larger than the limit value are exposed copper. If a via has a drill smaller than the limit value then it will be covered by solder mask(tented). So the trick is to set the limit value to be slightly larger than the vias.
You can confirm that it worked by turning on the tstop and bstop layers. Any vias that have features drawn on these layers are exposed, if a via doesn't have something on tstop or bstop then it will be covered.
Please accept as solution if this solves your problem. Otherwise reply with more info.
Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.
