How to Correct the Unwanted Silk Screen Issue?You need to modify the location or delete the “type” attribute in the Decals in the routed PCBStep 1: Right Click and Select components in the routed PCB viewStep 2: Right Click one of the components and select “Edit Decal”: You will see a popup showing “This operation can only performed in DRC off mode”: Click OK and the Decal editor will open upStep 3: Edit the “Part Type” or “Type” location by selecting properties and reducing height to 50 and setting it to 5 points width: also move the attribute to a location of the drawing where it does not overlap wit the other documentation: Otherwise delete itStep 4: Save and exit from the decal editor: it will ask to make changes to all the decals: click “ALL” to apply changes
