So, on that new JLCPCB colorful silk screen feature that's making the rounds atm. From what I can tell, the colorful silkscreen layers are just plain SVG files, but they encrypt them in a way that only EasyEDA and JLC can read them (and you can't). That means not only can these Gerbers never work with other vendors, you can't even export your own design from EasyEDA in a way you, yourself, can read or import in another tool. #electronics #pcb #jlcpcb #easyeda
