The Footprint Expert lets you easily modify the silkscreen for miniature components.
  1. You can turn off the wraparound silkscreen in 'Tools > Options > Drafting > Silkscreen'
  2. If you need a silkscreen outline you can add Drafting Lines
  3. You set the line shape, width, size, coordinates; put in one line and select 'New' and change the 'Y' to a negative value and Done - add to FPX.
