Silkscreen Outline to Footrprint

Hi,

The problem is that I initally have checked in my "Master Options" under Options > Drafting > Silkscreen Outlines and Text > All Density Levels  the box "Add Outline to Footprint" since I want by default a silkscreen in all my designs. But for smaller footprints ( ie. capacitors, resistors 0402, 0603) I don´t want the default silkscreen created. Why? Becayse the silkscreen is to small to be printed in the sides of the pads between the gap, and the tool generates a "C" form shape around the pads. For me it is a problem because if the routed signal in the top or bottom layer is a high speed signal the silkscreen could affect the signal integrity. So I want it deleted.

Therefore, I change it in the particular menu in the calculator unchecking this box and I update it pushing Calculate. In the Footprint dialog the footprint appears to be updated. I then proceed to Add to Library and when I open it from the library the Silkscreen is still there. It looks like the property for the silkscreen is being inherit even when I specifically tell it not to do so.

Can you please orientate me to check if there could be anything I am missing in the process?

Thanks!

It worked for the 0201, 0402 chips. But for example I had a component that is not a chip. A DFN Crystal, and after changing the property you mentioned the silkscreen outline dissapeared. Somehow the tool considered the silkscreen was too small but I want the silkscreen in that particular component to appear.

I tried the same I mentioned in my original post, I changed it in the particular menu in the calculator unchecking the box you mentioned and I updated it pushing "Calculate". Then the silkscreen appeared. I updated the library but somehow when I reload the footprint my changes disappear.

Is this normal behaviour?
