Hey guys , when i was making a keyboard pcb , i found this images.
this is a pcb of keyboard too . what interested me is that all of it's clines , thr-pins , vias and teardrops are added solder masks , and shows out an open-windowed , blackgold effect , and i think i want this visual effects too .
then i tried it in allegro . first i export a sub_drawing file out of the pcb , selecting the clines and vias before picking the origin spot , and a .clp file is there in the folder where the pcb .brd file is . Then i open the clp file with the vscode , and replaced all of the "etch/top" and "etch/bottom" with ''Board_geometry/soldermask_top'' and ''Board_geometry/soldermask_bottom '' . then , i import the modified clp file into the pcb , and this help to add a mask layer to the clines and vias . in the 3d viewer it is like this
it shows the same effect in the first image i posed , the clines , vias are added soldermask .
but i can not achieved the effect in the second image , cause i don't know how to add soldermask to the teardrops . when i exported the subdrawing file , i can only select the clines vias pins but not the teardrop .
Anybody knows know to add soldermask to the teardrops can give me some ideas ?
