#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."
