eagle pcb silkscreen
Hello! I just started working in EAGLE for the first time. It is my first time designing my own PCB. So far it's going great but I have a couple of questions.
I was reading a guide and it said to draw the silkscreen on the tPlace layer and to not get it on the pads as it will mess with the soldering process. I have a SMD SOT143 Diode that has tDocu drawn on it.
Will an outline of tDocu go on the silkscreen or do I have to draw the silkscreen myself? Is tDocu just for reference and not actually printed on the PCB?
If I draw it myself, what's the easiest way to draw it so that I don't get it on the pads?
Here is a picture of my component:

Thanks guys!
