One of my designs has a few parts where silkscreen is drawn over bare copper. My CAD program has no way of fixing this, apart from redrawing the parts… which I’d prefer not to do. Is there a way to fix this in the gerbers (without an expensive software package…) or through the BatchPCB service?
thanks.
you could edit the gerber file(s) to remove those lines, however, it won’t be fun, and you’ll have to re-remove them whenever you want to update your output.
Your other option is an expensive program that lets you edit the gerbers visually :-/
Best bet would probably be to re-do your part once in your CAD program, and be done with it.

Our fab will sometimes fix it for you… but its sorta unreliable whether they do or don’t fix it.
