How should silk short a copper trace? It's not recommended, but usually silk is trimmed by the solder mask (either during gerber generation or by the manufacturer) If, instead, the module contains entities/text on copper *this is by design* (of pcbnew, not of the module). Entities on copper on modules are not checked against copper on board, for two reasons: - It's quite difficult to check copper text for conflicts - You *need* copper in modules to do things like equipotential bonding or other tricks like these done by the microwave tools Either way there is (should be:P) a big fat warning when creating the module and choosing a copper layer; I'd say that module needs to be fixed (not a problem in pcbnew but in the library module) BTW that is the kind of error detected when comparing the gerbers against the D356 netlist at the CAM stage (if you're lucky to have the check done, of course...) -- Lorenzo Marcantonio Logos Srl _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : kicad-developers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
