I would like to make a footprint of this IC.
I got the shape of the thermal pad done , but as shown in the attached picture , the paste mask is not equally shaped like the thermal pad.
How does one create the suggested paste mask so it matches the shape of the thermal pad ?
I tried to create a flash , but the problem is that i can not see where i need to place the segments of the paste mask .
Do i need to create the footprint of the IC and then add the paste mask in PCB designer to the footprint instead of doing it in the PAD EDITOR ?
