When I was creating a new Decal (part) in PADS Layout software, I have set "All Layers" in the Drafting Properties for the component's outline. Is it correct? So when I type "z 26" in order to see only the Silkscreen Top, this outline appears. So it works in PCB Decal Editor. But when I use this component in the PCB Layout design and type "z 26", no outline appears for that component. How this could be? What should I do to have the component's outline on the Silkscreen Layer?
By the way, what is the difference between "Silkscreen Top" and "Assembly Drawing Top" layers?
 

Never used that "z" command before, but make sure you've got outlines assigned a visible color (CTRL-ALT-C). What does "z 26" do?

You may want things on your assembly drawing that aren't on the ss, and vice versa. Notes, for example.
