Specifically, is it possible with Ultiboard, Protel DXP?

Can't you just define a new layer, with the solder mask you need? I canSpecifically, is it possible with Ultiboard, Protel DXP?

*Any* competent PCB program should be able to do that. Just assign a
layer to it and modify the appropriate component footprints to have
solder mask where you want it.

I've never heard of Ultiboard, but certainly Protel has that
capability. Agree with Spehro who said any competent PWB layout
software should be able to do that. Even very early (DOS-based)
versions of OrCAD could do it. Tpically you just specify a pad
clearance.

ahhh.. that makes more sense .. I use Protel and all I do is to draw a fill
on a mechanical layer. you can cover selected portions easily that way..
and join them so they peal easily.. (having 50 tiny blobs of silicon is
just as bad as filling the holes). Usually there's only a few holes so this
isn't a problem.
Just dedicate one of the mechanical layers to the task and tell the PCB
manufacturer (or generate a Gerber). With Protel you can even rename the
layer to "pealable solder mask" if you like.
