The assembly drawing should not be the silkscreen layer. On the silkscreen you 
move the reference designators outside the component boxes, so you can see them 
after the components are installed. This can be confusing on tight boards. On the 
assembly drawing, you center the reference designators inside the component 
boxes, so the manufacturer can refer to the assembly drawing and resolve any 
confusion.
