#usage "Generate a wider silk screen\n" "

" "Some board manufacturers want to have at least a width of 8mil " "for silk screen lines in order to guarantee legible results. " "EAGLE libraries use 5 mil width for silk screen as default. " "This ULP changes all silk screen elemtents to a minimum " "with of 8 mil . All elements of layers 21 and 22 " "are written into new layers 121(_tplace) and 122 (_bplace). " "Texts are changes as well. The new ratio is 16% (default 8). That " "means texts with a size of 50 mil get a wire width of 8 mil as well. " "

" "Two new layers will be defined and the new silk screen will be " "generated. For generating GERBER data be aware that you have to " "activate layers 121 or 122 instead of the original layers 21 and 22." "
