Which text will be printed on PCB?

binpersonal

Dear all,  I have two questions, anyone can help me? Thanks a lot!

(1) There are text on "Autosilk_top", also there are text of " RefDes" on "Silkscreen_top" of the component, which text will be pritned on PCB board after manufacture?   Or both?

(2), Which layer of the boundary/outline of a component (e.g. the circle of a through hole capaciatance) belong to?  When I turn on or off the "silkscreen_top" of the component, it is still displayed, seems it doesn't belong to silkcreen layer.  

 Thank you very much!

    1.  Manufacturing output for fabricating the board is mainly comes from the defined artwork films.  Each artwork film is made up of one or more layers that you define for it.  So, to answer your question, the text that will be printed on the board will be whatever layerr(s) you define to be printed on the silkscreen.

    2.  You can do "Show Element" to find out what a particular element is.  If I understand your question correctly, my quess is that you are seeing Package Geometry/ Assembly_Top.  Don't confuse layers with artwork films.
