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. 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. Thanks Again.

Chad,

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.

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.

Thanks Again.

As a temporary workaround, do you have a spare copper layer? Maybe you could draw the outline on the spare layer and enable it. Perhaps that would trick the pads into being drawn while we get this sorted out.

LaunchPad is the bug tracker that we use:

Generally common sense applies. Provide enough info so that the devs can reproduce the problem. The easier you make it for us and the more specific you can be, the easier it is for us to help you.

Thanks,

Chad & DJ,

Thanks for your prompt response.

Yes, I have "Only-visible" checked in the PNG dialog. That was the first thing I did, since the prompt specifically said "...visible items...", which implies visible on the screen.

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.

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?

Thanks again.
Girvin

Could you please file a bug report on LaunchPad? I'll take a look.

Please make sure you have also checked the "only-visible" option in the
