Mechanical layer includes SMD pads


Allen

Hi,

we have done many designs with DS and in a recent design we have a problem with SMD pads and showing on the Mechanical layer.

Usually our Mechanical layer just shows the rectagular slots for special components but in this design we are getting grey and red pads for all components. Obvioously not on the Mechanical layer.

What is really annoying is that these are coming out on the Gerber plot file for the mechanical layer and this is causing us issues with our PCB manufacturer.

Any help wpould be appreciated.
