Seems so simple. How do I exclude thru hole components (like connectors) when I gerber out the solder paste layer? All I want are the pads for SMT components, but the thru hole parts show up also. Didn’t used to do that. Any suggestions or insights are much appreciated.
Looks like the footprints I used were created such that the Front Paste layer was included ( and the Bottom Mask layer was excluded)! Fixing these cured the problem.
Sorry for the false alarm.
