Description

When generating assembly drawings for different board variations, all DNP components stay in `Fab` layers, which can lead to confusion on the drawing. Is it possible to hide the `Fab` layer for DNP components?

Research direction

Start at the assembly-drawing generation entry point and trace how DNP components are represented in KiCad Fab layers across board variations. Determine the expected layer visibility behavior, then compare generated drawings for variants with DNP components to verify that the Fab layer is hidden only where requested.
