Chad,

Just a note to say that your work-around does not require a large 
outline or anything that may cause other problems. It will work even 
with a small, un-noticable trace anywhere on the board using a spare 
(signal2 in my case) layer. It seems that just the presence of something 
on a copper layer will allow the expected layers to be present in the 
generated PNG file.

HTH.
Girvin

            <p>Okay, here's what I did. As you suggested, I used the
              unused "signal2" layer to create a box around the board
              edge and kept it turned on with the "component" and
              "solder" layers turned off. In the PNG dialog, I checked
              the "screen-layout-order" option and that gave me what I
              want - silkscreen, pins, and outline. If I leave the
              "screen-layout-order" option unchecked and nothing else
              changed, then I get everything again - traces from both
              sides and all.<br>
            </p>
            <p>So, I thank you for your work-around and I can continue

                    <p>Yes, I have "Only-visible" checked in the PNG
                      dialog. That was the first thing I did, since the

                      which implies visible on the screen.<br>
                    </p>
                    <p>I thought I did this before, but my notes from
                      then say to enable "Component" side to get pads.
                      Otherwise will only get silkscreen. Sounds
                      familiar. However, that board was a single-sided
                      board, so it didn't matter, since there were no
                      traces on the Component side. This new board is a
                      double-sided board. I just checked and exporting
                      with "Component" layer turned on will produce the
                      top silk, pins and both component and solder layer
                      traces, which still is not what I want. I don't
                      want the traces for this export. According to the
                      PNG file date on that single-sided board, it was
                      February of 2015. So, this process was giving me
                      problems that far back at least.<br>

                    <p>I have never used LaunchPad before or filed a bug
