Great! I'm glad we have a working solution for now.

Since you have something that works, I'll look into it some more this
weekend.

Cheers,

    <p>Chad,</p>
    <p>Okay, here&#39;s what I did. As you suggested, I used the unused

            <p>Yes, I have &quot;Only-visible&quot; checked in the PNG dial=
og.
              That was the first thing I did, since the prompt

ies
              visible on the screen.<br>
            </p>
            <p>I thought I did this before, but my notes from then say
              to enable &quot;Component&quot; side to get pads. Otherwise w=
ill
              only get silkscreen. Sounds familiar. However, that board
              was a single-sided board, so it didn&#39;t matter, since ther=
e
              were no traces on the Component side. This new board is a
              double-sided board. I just checked and exporting with
              &quot;Component&quot; layer turned on will produce the top si=
lk,
              pins and both component and solder layer traces, which
              still is not what I want. I don&#39;t want the traces for thi=

              export. According to the PNG file date on that
