Remove Silkscreen for specific parts

Hello, First of all: I love your tool so far! Just switched from EAGLE. I have designed a board that includes a DIP switch for debugging/development. Later on, i plan to bridge this DIP switch permanently with a solder bridge. As the solder bridge is smaller than the dip-switch, I placed it "under" the DIP-switch. Electrically, this is fine, but the two overlapping silkscreens look very ugly. ![DIP-switch over solder bridge][1] So, my question: Is it possible to hide the silkscreen for some parts (like the DIP-switch in my example)? Best, Sebastian [1]: /editor/20170920/59c257c48f651.png

You can toggle the visibility of the Prefix in the right hand panel but for the silkscreen outline, there are two ways to do this. * The quick and dirty way: Highlight the whole of the footprint you wish to remove the outline for. Click on the **Ungroup/group** button on the PCB Tools floating toolbar: ![enter image description here][1] Delete the outline segments. Repeat for the other parts as required. The problem with this is that if you click on **Update PCB...** in the Schematic Editor or **Import Changes...** in the PCB Editor after you have made these changes, *they will revert to the original packages*. For more on this please see **Why do Parts in a PCB disappear when the PCB is updated from the schematic?** in: *Update PCB...** in the Schematic Editor or **Import Changes...** in the PCB Editor. * The correct way: Clone and uniquely rename the packages for the parts from which you want to remove the outlines. These will appear in `My Parts`. Edit them to remove the outlines and any other features (including possibly on the Documentation layer). Save them. Edit the symbols in the Schematic to call up the modified PCB packages. Click on **Update PCB...** in the Schematic Editor or **Import Changes...** in the PCB Editor. The new packages will then be pulled into the PCB and will replace the old ones. [1]: /editor/20170920/59c27fe3c3e27.png

Sorry: cut and paste error...
