I m using KiCad 8.0.5 on Win10.
When I print the pads (B.Mask layer) of my pcb layout everything is fine. But when I plot (or export) the B.Mask layer as svg file, problems occur.
Two neighboring pads with a small distance between them are shown connected in the plot. When I increase the distance, everything is OK.
So, why can I print the close pads but not plot or export them as svg? Do I miss something?
In Board setup there is “Solder mask minimum web width” parameter.
I don’t know, but may be plot and export take it into account and print not.
It is always better to use last stable version so 8.0.6. Each new stable version means several dozen bugs fixed.
As 8.0.6 is more than month old than the current Test Version has also several dozen bugs fixed compared with it.
