It's possible to make a silkscreen from a circuit by adjusting image and colors, but it requires a bunch of manual steps. It would be nice if there was a built-in way to do this, similar to File->Trace Mask->Export. The silk screen export would:
export all layers except Chassis.
Override trace width to 0.5mm or so.
Override component outlines to black.
Override component colors to white.
Override all text, both component and misc, to black.
The resulting image is suitable for home-built boards, printing onto Press-N-Peel and ironing it onto the top-side of the board; or for running through ImageToPcb to make a gerber for a silk screen layer for having a board manufactured.
