Hi I have the design file which have a part looks like the image attached Make_solder_masks_in_silk_screen.JPG
Can I make solder mask on Silkscreen using Eagle ?
Because it takes time to clean the silkscreen before soldering since the pads are covered by silkscreen
Do any body have idea to remove the silkscreen in the pad using eagle software

Thanks in advance
 

Assuming the cyan colour is the silk screen you need to re-draw the library part silk screen so that it is not on the pads. There is a ULP that may clear it from the pads but I have never used it.

Yeah correct the cyan is the silk screen !
I need the open source logo printed in my board with the space for soldering (through hole)!
Tried silk.ulp from the given link it didn't work, I am using eagle 6.4.0, any way I used silk.ulp which is embedded into my version of Eagle
It draws the tnames as a silk screen, it didn't give me the effect of solder masked output :-(

looking for the option how it can be done ?

Thanks for the help :)
 

Simply edit your library part that is causing the problem. If that is your logo and you really want it on the PCB then move it to the solder resist layer - then it will show up but without causing any soldering problems.
