  • As Dave suggest it would be possible to add the markers by way of a skill routine and he provides several good points for building the routine, however in my opinion it would be much more efficient to actually add the marker to the silkscreen subclass of the footprint in the library. By adding them to the library they would automatically be included when the part is placed and no secondary script would have to be run. Any existing boards could be updated easily by doing a Place -> Update Symbols.
