Telling the difference between copper and paste

[ppelleti]

@Sprig

It is my understanding, that unless you have reason to do otherwise, that the pad and paste stencil openings are recommended to be the same size.

Well, specifically I am looking at footprints with thermal pads, and I want to be able to see the subdivided paste. (Basically, the multiple pads are supposed to merge into a single pad on the copper layer, but remain separate on the paste layer.)

@Rerouter

In the OpenGL Canvas, clicking on the footprint highlights the colour difference, or in the component editor, clicking on the paste layer on the layer list increases the contrast of that layer.

Thanks, that did it for me!
