Feature Request: Crop Silkscreen going outside of PCBs area. #557

Open greenscreenflicker opened 1 year ago

Prerequisites

Description

I have lot's of connectors standing outside of the PCB.

For example: grafik

I would like to panilze them also above and below. But I don't want the silkscreen from the other PCB on it. Could there be a feature implemented, cropping that silkscreen outside of PCB?

The feature is straightforward but quite laborious to implement without a proper geometry library (as we have to edit the silkscreen geometry). At the moment, we use Shapely which isn't a good candidate for it.

However, I plan to migrate KiKit to a geometry library soon which should make this feature much easier to implement.
