I'm trying to create a pad  with solder mask over it for a capacitive touch sensor. So far the only thing I've figured out to get the solder mask over the pad is to make the pad miniscule and surround it with a solid region on the same copper layer of the size I actually want. However when I try to put that on the pcb the drc keeps my traces from entering the solid copper region, meaning I can't connect to the pad. I've tried setting the pad and solid region to the same net in the PCB Lib, but no dice there. Anyone have a good suggestion of how to do this?
