How to change default soldermask size on tStop layer?

It seems when you create a pin that the tool automatically creates a shape on tStop to go with it.  However that shape is too large for me. Where is the setting to adjust this shape size?  I have 200 pins, I don't want to have to delete them all on tStop and draw 200 tiny rectangles.

 

Thank you

You can configure the sizes of the automatically generated masks in the "Mask" tab of the DRC Dialog once you placed your part on a board.

So no way to change or define it in the footprint editor? Where it should be defined.

Hello @eric_engineer ,

you can define your own soldermask in the footprint editor by disabling it in the properties of the pad/smd:

After that you have to define your own soldermask in layer tStop and bStop
