+## Options
+
+- `includeCopper?: boolean` - Include copper traces and pads (default: `true`)
+- `includeSoldermask?: boolean` - Include soldermask openings for cutting polyimide sheet (default: `false`)
+- `includeSilkscreen?: boolean` - Include silkscreen layer (not implemented yet)
+- `origin?: { x: number; y: number }` - Set the origin point for the conversion
+- `margin?: number` - Set the margin around the PCB
+
+## Soldermask Support
+
+The `includeSoldermask` flag enables generation of soldermask openings for cutting polyimide sheet. When enabled:
+- SMT pads and plated holes will have soldermask openings
+- Traces are NOT included in the soldermask layer (to avoid accidental bridging during soldering)
+- Holes are always cut through the board regardless of the mode
+
+You can generate:
+- **Copper only**: `{ includeCopper: true, includeSoldermask: false }` - Traditional copper cutting
+- **Soldermask only**: `{ includeCopper: false, includeSoldermask: true }` - Just polyimide cutting patterns
+- **Both**: `{ includeCopper: true, includeSoldermask: true }` - Complete fabrication file with both layers
