[Nguyenvanhieu]

Hi Robert,
I see that some components on open project have mechanicallayer 16?what purpose of this layer?Why you dont use mechanical layer 29 for .Designator, circle on PIN 1?

And,if you dont use layer 29 for some outline,dot in PIN1,when you ASM top and bottom,what will happen?

Hello Nguyenvanhieu. Please, could you be more specific? What project / board you are talking about (we have number of open source projects).

Hello Robert. I'm also confused with mech layers for IMX6 rex. There are Mech 1, 16, 29 and 30 available but 16 is completely empty. I believe the mech layers are configured during your creation of the library files. I couldnt find the library files for IMX6 rex either, where can we get it, I believe I need it for fabrication and assembly as well.

avion, this explains how you can create libraries from existing project: https://www.fedevel.com/welldoneblog...sting-project/

PS: If there is nothing on Mechanical layer, just ignore it.
