How to change Solder Mask in Pulsonix PCB Design tool?

Problem:- 

I have to creat a footprint as shown in Fig 1. But after creating ( see Fig 2 ) I got my Solder Mask connected. I would like to get clearance in between the Solder Mask. Please tell me solution for this. I am using Pulsonix PCB Design tool.


Solution:-

To fix this you need to make change in Technology file.

  1. Select " Technology " from "Setup" menu or press T key 
  2. On your right side select Layer Classes 
  3. Then click on " Solder Mask " > Edit 
  4. Change the value in section " Pad Oversize" to 2 mil. Make sure you are working in "thou".

Exit from window by pressing OK. Your mask will change and will look like as shown below.
