I am trying to make a small silkscreen I can write on with a sharpy, etc. My first try was just making a square on the F.Silkscreen layer but that did not work. Next I tried to make a ‘filled zone’ on the F.Silkscreen layer, but that also does not work.
Works for me:
Selected F.Silkscreen as the drawing layer from the top dropdown. Selected Filled Zone tool. Click starting point. Confirm OK. Draw closed polygon. Hatched border appears. Fill with b hotkey. Done.
Yes I just did that also.
I used the rectangle tool on the front silkscreen layer.
Did you make boards and the area is missing? Describe the failure???
Either you did it wrong or you are using a very old version of KiCad . . . by the way, what version are you using, you didn’t say ?
Can you paste your version info here please, you can get it from KiCad > Help > About KiCad > Copy Version Info
I was doing it wrong and figured it our from the reply from retiredfeline. Thanks for all the replies.
