Bug Description

# Current Behaviour

* set "Layer" to "F.CrtYd", "Default thickness" to 0.05mm
* draw Courtyard
* set "Layer" to "F.SilkS", "Default thickness" to 0.12mm
* draw Silkscreen

# Expected Behaviour

Default thickness is bound to a layer, so people do not need to change them all the time when changing the layer (or need to refinish).

Sane default values (used in the official library):

CrtYd = 0.05mm
Fab = 0.10mm
SilkS = 0.12mm
