Do you want to produce an image with: the top silkscreen and the top layer pads or the top silkscreen and the top layer pads and tracks? Do you ant it in colour or in greyscale?

Hi Andy I have figured out (mostly) how to create an image with the top silkscreen plus top pads (I missed the "assembly drawings" button). However (bug?) If I manually add extra silk screen text that is omitted when I export the assembly drawing. Because I have a dense board with 0402 components I am not going to use a silk screen on my boards - there is no room. What I would like to do is to create an assembly drawing on a separate layer ("TopAssembly" seems the obvious choice). What I would like is to make a copy of the top layer silk screen component outlines and text, then edit that on the TopAssembly layer. It does not look like the copying is possible. Is it? I would prefer the top layer pads were also on the TopAssembly layer, though this is not essential. NOTE - what I am used to in the past (with PADS) is the ability to create an assembly drawing that is different from the silk screen layer - but obviously based on the same CAD file - with the ability to make independent edits to each of these two layers/files.

Here's a way to do it. 1. Export (or print) your selected layers as an image (PNG) format file. 2. Go to ipiccy.com and select the Designer tools. 3. Upload you PNG files using their **Add Photo** button. 4. Place the silkscreen layer image onto the page. 5. Place the track and pads or just pads layer image onto the page then select it and Fade it to say, 50%. 6. Manually align it with the silkscreen layer. 7. Save a local copy. Here's one I prepared earlier: ![enter image description here][1] It's not perfect because the PNG image is low resolution but you get the idea? You may be able to do better by playing with the size parameter in the EasyEDA print/export dialogue. Or maybe do it by a screengrab? [1]: /editor/20170920/59c18a8ae04fe.jpg
