From d80d2dddd66bb6740f659f79d85b0efdb4008369 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jon Evans <[email protected]> Date: Thu, 4 Jan 2018 17:39:36 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Allow selecting footprints that are only silkscreen using silk layers
In high-contrast mode, items that don't exist on the current layer are not selectable, but this is problematic since there are library components that only exist in the silkscreen layer (logos, etc). By adding one of the silkscreen layers to the ViewGetLayers() output, these components are now editable when viewing the silkscreen layer in high-contrast mode. Silkscreens attached to footprints that have pads or drawings on non-silkscreen layers are still not selectable.
