Drawings generated from 3D PCB lack silk screen layer.

[gmdouglas]

I've created a PCB in Fusion 360, then pushed it to a 3d PCB, and created a drawing from that 3d geometry.

It's all very nice, but I can't find a way to have the PCB silk screen show up in the drawing.

How do I add the silk screen as a layer or other entity?  Drawings without this information are not very useful for generating documentation for an electronics design.

Thanks~

@gmdouglas , this is a limitation of Fusion drawing for now. It's one of the major features in our to-do list.

Hello there,

a little bump on this topic since I'm evaluating Fusion360 currently for our company and do like it for the most part.

But today i ran into the same issue regarding this.

I can see the silkcreen(s) on my 3D PCB as canvases, but when i create a drawing from it the silkscreen does not show up. For documentation purposes it's kind of necessary that we can add the silkscreen layers/canvases to our drawings.

I know (as a workaround) that  you can add a picture of the silkscreen layer as decal to a surface, but this is a rather tedious and time consuming process to get it done correctly. And not to mention unnecessary complicated.

@yqliu 

Can we expect this feature in the near future?

Thanks.

Kind regards

Hi @Cougar20 , we have been discussing this requirement continuously together with other drawing requirements. It is one of the important features we planned for next year.

Bump ... I need this feature as well.
