Soldermask don't look good in 3D model if I add stopmask in outline edges

Hi,

 

I have a board with soldermask that copy outlines for unmask edges of PCB. If I export 3D PCB without Stop Layer Geometry, it ignores unmasked edges. If I export it with Stop Layer Geometry, it ignore all solder mask - PCB is bare, only with copper and core). But CAM preview is OK.

 

My PCB (only soldermask on top side):

Soldermask is on all sides, but property in screenshot is shown for one object (one side).

Hi @gjepali,

 

Thank you for feedback. I'll add your comments to an existing ticket about getting all the views in Fusion to show the same results. The ultimate source of truth is always going to be the 2D PCB, so if your 2D PCB looks correct you can trust that the finished board will be correct.

 

Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

 

Best Regards,

Hi @jorge_garcia,

 

I know that CAM data are correct. I edit my PCB in CAM editor for paneling and stencil to manufacture it in our company. This was not the point. I'm working with 3D data for mechanical and customer presentation purposes, so it would be nice if PCB will look as it was designed.

 

It was a point for improvement that nobody on the forum addressed and I think it could be easy to improve.

 

Thank you!
