Creating Custom Silkscreen

In creating a new part, you can add an .svg as a symbol. For example, notice that all parts in the library have an .svg for the symbol. You can use also add an .svg file to your project to create custom graphics to your board through a silkscreen.

If you want to learn more about creating custom silkscreen shapes, we have a full custom shapes tutorial.

Alternatively, feel free to use our community library to search for premade graphics! For example, you can simply add the Flux logo by finding it in the library search and dragging it in.

Option 1: Using an Asset File
Step 1: Adding DXF/SVG Files as Assets
To add an external file as an asset:

1. Make sure no object has been selected (click on the empty canvas)
2. On the right drawer, scroll down until you find the assets panel. Open it and click on “Add” (or “Manage”). This will open the assets dialogue.
3. Then click on “Add item” and select the file from your local drive.
