Diode silkscreen orientation confuses automation

[tobozo]

Hi and thanks for this project :+1:

I used the provided link to make an order at PCBWay and got a feedback question from them, asking confirmation about the orientation of a diode.

I compared their picture with the one in the Images/ folder of this repository and figured their system got it inverted.

Picture from PCBWay assembly line, where the diode is mounted with the wrong orientation:

Picture from this repository where the diode has the right orientation:

Based on a default footprint, it looks like the label + symbol have been inverted, but not the silkscreen lines surrounding the diode placeholder.

Is it safe to assume silkscreen should look like this instead?

Hi,

PCBWay asked me the exactly same thing when I placed the order of a test-batch. I explicitly asked them to not forget about the correct placement, but ...

Put short:

• the orientation on my photos is correct
• feel free to refer to my PCBWay order T-B19W160781A (and related conversation about placement)

Hope this helps!

thanks for confirming
