I would like to print Pads, Vias, SMD footprints altogether so that I can apply UV solder mask on board. The problem is that the SMD footprints is part of TOP layer.

What to do?

Looks like correct layer would be tStop, but it appears stripped instead of filled. Looks like I should use some image editing software to fill those pads manually.. .

Accepted Answer:

As the others have pointed out, the correct layer to use for solder mask are tStop and bStop.

In many cases these layers are visualised in Eagle as hatched lines which is not what you want for printing. However it is very easy to remove this and print them out as solid. Simply check the Solid option in the print dialog:

Electronic #display #SMD #footprints #Eagle #CAD #separate #layer #TOP #BOTTOM
