Bug Description

This is more of a feature request since I do not see it implemented. I should be able to select traces and then have a checkbox in the context menu somewhere to "disable or enable solder mask" for the traces selected. This is very important when dealing with RF designs and high current applications. Solder mask is not uniform enough to calculate the dielectric for so it is best to remove it on transmission lines.
