Text added to pins does not get added to autosilk layer

joma

Hi, I have written a script that adds the net names on pins to the Package Geometry silkscreen layers.
However, when the Allegro (v16.6) silkcreen command is run, the text is not transferred to the autosilk layer. Other text on this layer is ok.
I am using the following command to add the text:

axlDBCreateText( sprintf( nil "%s" symPinNet ) , symPinPosn , textOrientTop , "PACKAGE GEOMETRY/SILKSCREEN_TOP" , symbPin )

The text adds successfully on the board and is attached to a pin with a rubber band.
Is there something I should do to make this text transferable?

Thanks,
