Subject: [geda-user] Retaining silk screen text when converting buffer to element?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed

I've just spent ages drawing a complicated footprint, using top layer 
rectangles for SMD pads, and silk screen lines to show the device outline.

I also wanted to include silk screen text in the final element, but this 
disappeared when converting the buffer to an element! The silk lines 
were unaffected though.

Can anyone advise me on how to make the silk screen text appear along 
with everything else please?

Thanks,
Matt.
