Hi,

I think it would be a nice thing when we could define a min gap between Solder Mask Pattern on Thermal Tabs.

For now you have to push it to Footprint Designer and hack this value. With a min gap setting this step will be go away and I can't forget it.

Do you mean Paste Mask Pattern?

Please clarify.

Yes you are right, I found a min gap in the Paste mask pattern really usefull. I called it Solder Mask Pattern, because the option in the tool is called like that.
