[kicad-users] Re: libs silkscreens unusable

[n1ist]

Is this really an issue?  All of the board houses that I have used (Gold 
Phoenix, Advanced Circuits, DDI, Multek) use the solder mask layer as a mask 
for the silk layer, so they won't try to place silk on pads.  Because of this, 
I usually do a final pass once everything is routed to move reference 
designators and text around so they avoid getting cut up by the pads.
