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's what I did. As you suggested, I used the unused
"signal2" layer to create a box around the board edge and k=
ept it
turned on with the "component" and "solder" layer=
s 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 nothin=
g 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 my work
wile you get it sorted out. I will look into posting a bug report
ASAP.</p>
<p>Thanks Again.<br>

<p>Chad & DJ,</p>
<p>Thanks for your prompt response.<br>
</p>
<p>Yes, I have "Only-visible" checked in the PNG dial=
og.
That was the first thing I did, since the prompt
specifically said "...visible items...", which impl=
ies
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 w=
ill
only get silkscreen. Sounds familiar. However, that board
was a single-sided board, so it didn'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
"Component" 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't want the traces for thi=
s
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>
<p>I have never used LaunchPad before or filed a bug report.
How do I do that? Is there a process document I can read
to do it? If so, where can I find it?</p>
<p>Thanks again.<br>
