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

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.
