Is there any setting to stop the Val** text on F.Fab layer to be created in KiCad output footprints?
In older version of KiCad I believe that Val** was mandatory, but this is not true any longer.

Go to 'Tools > Options > Drafting > Silkscreen > All Density Levels > Add Value to Footprint > Uncheck it'

Thank you Tom.
I had already tried that but I didn´t work. Or I thought it didn´t work. Now I have looked more carful at the output and I understand what is happening. The generated file does indeed not include Value. but when KiCad opens the footprint and Value is missing then it adds it because Value (and Reference) must exist. What need to be done if Value is disabled, is to set Value to hidden in the output file. The same goes for Reference. So maybe this is almost to consider a bug? Or feature request? :)
