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.

    That seems more like a workaround than the proper way.  Is that the

    most appropriate way, within the capabilities of Eagle?  Or is it the

    only way?

     

    I ask this because doing  it that way is problematic.  When you put a

    surface mount on top, and then a surface mount on bottome, you can

    route between the two, and the ratsnests disappear, as if the

    connection was made, but the connections aren't actually made.

     

    To connect a surface layer pad between top and bottom requires a via.

    But when I test this, one can draw a route (not wire) between two

    connecting pads, and the vias disappear.   How does one verify

    connections if this is the case?
