For some reason I dont have a silkscreen layer. Ive gone into board setup and cant find a way to enable it there. Any advice please?
May be it has something common with my bug report:
Strange. I’ve opened (Kicad v8.0.7 Linux) the test project you’ve reported and I can see this layers as expected.
However I cannot check/uncheck these layers in the Board Editor. Indeed maybe a bug.
Top and Bottom Overlay are alternate names for Front and Back Silkscreen.
Is this an imported board? Those names seem to pop up in Altium pages from a search.
ahhh yes. this is the answer.
if i send it to manufacture with top overlay for my silkscreen layer would that still be fine? im using jlcpcb
Why don’t you just upload it to JLCPCB and look at the preview?
will do. just wondered before i spend time moving everything to silkscreen cos its currently set as top layer. i assume its printing them as copper or something.
thanks for your help. problem solved
I reported it for 8.0.6 and it was fixed before 8.0.7.
I just supposed that may be something from that bug left.
