Newbie: How do I put component on bottom side of board ?

autodeskguest

Beginner looking to place a connector on the bottom side of the board.  How

do i do this ?  I intend to sandwich two boards together using a 12 pin SIL

connector (header on one board and plug on the other).

Thanks in advance.

    want to put my SIL connector on the bottom, if i just use the mirror

    command, will the connector now be on the bottom ?  Maybe look at it from

    manufacturing.  If i give my design to a boardmaker, how they know if the

    connector is on top of board or bottom ?

     

    Thanks

    You have to add that info to the design notes you use for manufacturing or

    have silkscreen on both sides. I have used a dashed silkscreen on the

    component side for circuit side mounted parts. If you wave solder those

    holes need to be masked and parts added manually later. So adding a new

    layer showing the parts of the board that need solder masking agents

    applied before wave would help make sure the documentation is not

    overlooked.
