I'm working on a double-sided PCB and for sturdy mounting I thought it
would be a good idea to have relatively wide copper-filled circles where
I drill a hole inside for the screws.
I used the "Circle" tool for this.
I would think having them on both sides would make the board even
sturdier, so how do I copy a circle from one side of the PCB, then place
it on the other side at the exact same location?

Hi, I am using V4.7.0 as freeware (I am now retired).
I make PCBS using laserjet output and an etch tank.
Top side copper for SMDs.
When a component requires a drilled hole, I have tried to assist
drilling by placing a circle with a small centre hole in top copper.
Printing this shows correctly in the print preview, but the printed
output has removed these 'drill helpers' totally.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Bob
Do you mean the "drill-aid.ulp" that places little circles on layer 116?
You must display layer 116 of course
