Hello Everyone!

I am finishing a design on Altium and I have just encountered a problem.
The graphic I want to print on the silkscreen PCB covers some of the pads on the top layer, I know some manufacturers will fix that problem directly on the GERBERS before manufacturing, but I was wondering how could I made that myself on Altium designer 20 so I don’t depend on the manufacturer implementation.

Pictures 1, 2, 3 are screenshots of my design so you can see what I mean.

I have tried the trim silkscreen tool inside Altium but the result I got is picture 6 (the before is picture 4).

Any idea?

Aside from manually generating new artwork, you can make a note on your fabrication drawing to "eliminate silkscreen over any exposed or plated copper surfaces."
