Great! I'm glad we have a working solution for no= w.

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

Cheers,

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 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.

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.
Girvin

Okay, so, it's not a recent thing. That means I didn't break anything (that I don't already know about) :)

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 dial= og. That was the first thing I did, since the prompt specifically said "...visible items...", which impl= ies visible on the screen.

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.

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

It does appear that the pins and pads not being drawn. Did this ever work for you? Did it break recently?

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
png exporter dialog.
