assembly layer - again

 

I asked here and on developers mailing list about adding assembly layer and changes in using layers. I suggested to move values to f.silks (hidden) and add assembly on f.fab. Values on f.fab could be also hidden (as Lorenzo suggested) to make space for refdes and body outlines. Another option could be adding %R on courtyard (maybe hidden) - it's the simplest way to make useful assembly documentation (not the body size but courtyard will outline the refdes - probably good enough). I can add scaled, rotated, centered REF** (as %R text) in the libraries reusing my most of my code that I written to add simple rectangular courtyards. What do you think about it? If some decisions will be made I'm ready to add the refdes texts in all the libraries (and body outlines in few of them if will be needed).
