Questions relating to designing PCBs
By chabboud

Is there a quick way to have the device Name layer show up on a silkscreen? It's very important for my project that I can see the name of each device in the fabricated PCB.

My first guess would be to edit the library of each part and change the all the names to layer 21, but that's probably not the correct way to do it.

Sorry if this has been asked before.

When you make your gerbers using the CAM Processor, just add Layer 25 to your Top Silkscreen gerber...
Be sure to get the silk width correct! :wink:
