Flipping a Component, but keep it on Top Layer

bazz
bazz over 12 years ago

I flipped a component on my board because it seems the only way to get to the desired orientation. Now, the place silkscreen is on the bottom of the board. I want the place details to stay on the top of the board.

    Please take the time to accurately explain your actions and needs.

    For example:

    Which library part exactly

    Why did "Rotate" not give you what you wanted.

    Which side of the board did you want the part i.e. Did you want to "Mirror"

    the part to the bottom of the board?

     

    Without more detail we cannot assist with a quick answer and end up typing

    more that you did image

     

    FYI

    Parts are always built in a library as if viewed from above. If you intend

    to have a part mounted on the bottom but silk screen on the top then the

    part would need to have the silk screen mirrored to the bottom when you make

    the package so that it ends up on the top when the part is mirrored on the

    board.
