If you don't want something like Component Outline exported, that should be an option in FPX.

As per user-definable layers? The Expedition Ascii doesn't really support that. Everything is specific layer callouts, which is why they weren't settable in the first place. I mean, unless you turn them all into graphics, but I don't see the point.

As per putting out the Terminal Outline to a User Draft Layer? Those I could see turning into graphics. I can look into that. Right now it appears those are shifted to assembly outlines, which was probably sketchy in the first place. Having them be graphics on a user layer name specified seems reasonable, and if ASSEMBLY_OUTLINE is specified it gets shifted to assembly.

I am using PCB Library Expert V2016.10

Are there any possibility to configure assigning PCB Library layers to Expedition layers?

i.e.:
  • Component Outline will not be exported?
  • Terminal Outline will be exported to "User Draft Layer"
Thank you
Andrej
