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.

    silk is also important in troubleshooting, but oh yeah, we never have that

    problem.

     

    seriously, thiago, as olin mentioned, almost all board houses will remove

    the silk from offending areas these days, check with yours regarding their

    policy. it's easy to miss small areas.

     

    do we have a ULP that does this?

     

    I see. Well this is my first board that is not for "amateur" purposes. I'll

    have it fabricated and assembled in scale, and I can't afford running into

    mistakes. The DRC error scare me, like something could go wrong during

    fabrication/assembly process. I just want to get rid of the errors and make

    it pretty easy to the PCB house to understand the board. I would appreciate

    some tips from someone who has boards manufactured all the time.

    Why don't you generate gerbers and submit the gerber set to

    www.freedfm.com.   Their tools will review your files and send you an

    email w/ what they deem to be pcb manufacturing problems.   If there are

    no "show stoppers" then chances are that Advanced Circuits could

    manufacture your board w/o difficulty.    Note that the automated tools

    do not look for potential assembly problems however....like very sort

    component in between two very tall ones.
