Isuess with overlay layers

jmarchewka

Hi, i've got a problem with overlay layers. I've ready done my PCB but when I saw gerbers files I saw my part reference numbers are just a large white area. I've got them on assembly top and bottom layer.

Here is the screenshoot how its look like.

I will be so thankful for any help.

    Hi, For the silkscreen typically you would want the following layers defined for the film control.

    Name = SILKSCREEN_TOP

    Package Geometry/Silkscreen_Top
    Ref Dez/Silkscreen_Top
    Board Geometry/Silkscreen_Top

    When you generate your gerber files assuming the gerber parameters are setup for RS274X, check the film tab and verify that the undefined line width is set to 1 mil if using english units. It is possible that there is some large value in the undefined line widh box and this is causing your ref-dez to be drawn with a stroke width that is too big. The result will just be a block of gibberish instead of what you might expect.

    All the best.
