If I create a Through Hole part with the LE Lite 2014.11 and do an Expedition ASCII out the part gets stencil information in the Padstack.

Maybe this is because it is marked as Surface mount.

Stencil Width can be selected in the terminal window when building a part.



For normal Through Hole parts this is not necessary.
Only for PIP (Pin In Paste) parts.
Please make it selectable to switch it on/off.

Wim.

The Through-hole pad stack defaults to No Paste Mask.

However, if you want Paste Mask for "Pin-In-Paste" technology, simply add a Paste Mask value.

This is the default and it creates a Paste Mask.
This is in Library Expert Lite 2014.11
