A way to autoremove graphics overlap peaces
« on: March 10, 2025, 07:11:45 pm »
Hello. I'm a beginner in Altium Designer. I want to import png image to PCB as a large silkscreen via Place > Graphics, like on this screen (the board itself doesn't matter  ;D).

The problem is that after importing, the silkscreen layer overlaps the components. Is there a some method to autoremove particular silkscreen peaces?  Or polygon exclusion in graphic import stage, or something other than manual png redrawing

Looks like you can clip to exposed copper: https://www.altium.com/documentation/altium-designer/preparing-silkscreen-pcb?srsltid=AfmBOoprPu-ToaMnGkqmytAOE8UItTNsmtKCHfyOIblhlok9bYav9Kbv

Or you can just leave it and the board house will do it for you. JLC or similar won't care, this is part of the normal procedure.
