Customizing silkscreen in renderings with EAGLE / FUSION 360

s.speretta — Thu, 14 May 2020 16:12:33 GMT

When generating the 3D rendering of a board designed with Eagle and rendered with Fusion 360, I see the silkscreen is always made up by the TPlace and TNames layers (for the top layer). Is there a way to customize it for rendering on FUSION 360? I would like to remove the TNames (and BNames for the bottom layer) from the rendering as the board is very crowded but leave the TPlace (and BPlace) layers.

When producing a board, I can do that by playing with the CAM Processor but I cannot generate the render correctly (without the xNames layers, other than generating a 3D file and editing it afterwards to remove the unwanted text).

Thanks for your feedback @s.speretta . So far we can't customize the silkscreen in renderings but we will consider to improve it.

Has there been any traction on adding tvalue and bvalue, bname, blace to the list of layers rendered in fusion?

Hi, I'll join in on this thread. Is there any update to this as of 2021-03-17? I'd like to be able to chose what layers are sent and what layers are not sent to fusion 360 to be used as silkscreen. Is it possible?

Greetings to everyone,

I hope you are all doing well. Unfortunately, I don't have any news to report on this front yet. Thank you for continuing to post on this thread and add your voice to the request.

Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

Best Regards,

+1 for needing this. I was quite surprised to learn it wasn't possible. Of all the things to be missing basic, obvious features in FE, you wouldn't expect 3D board rendering would be one of them.

Hello Everyone,

This has already been addressed with Editable layer sets. You can control what gets into the silkscreen layers in the 3D PCB.

Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

Best Regards,
