Stop Mask Error - Silk Layer

autodeskguest

I am getting the Stop Mask error on DRC because the silk screen layer and

text is overlapping the stopmask. Can I keep this and send to board

manufacturer, for automated assembly (maybe without silkscreen on the board)

or should I correct? I would be a big trouble to correct.

    IMHO silkscreen does more damage than good, unless you have very good

    reasons to have it.  I do high density stuff, and there is just not

    space for silkscreen. I do not really want to waste time positioning

    stuff that have no use.

     

    There are certainly issues with silkscreen and high density boards, but to

    make a blanket statement that silkscreen "does more damage than good" is

    just silly and possibly misleading to newbies.  Silkscreen can be very

    useful in decreasing human error.  Even if the entire assembly process is

    automated, the silkscreen can still help later in part identification,

    inventory, installation into the bigger system, etc.  It may not do much

    for your specific case, but there are many designs where it does help,

    which probably include the majority of boards designed by the people here.
