SMT custom library item onto bottom of board?

auspoundy

I have a custom part I've created, it's actually an SD Card connector that uses SMT pads.  Since I am going to hand-make the PCB with press-n-peel, I want to mount the SD card on the solder-side of the board.  The connections aren't symmetrical.

 

I can't figure out how to make the object "flip" and be on the bottom of the board; what are the best options here?  I guess I could "cheat" and re-draw the package inverted with the pads on Layer 16, but I thought I'd ask here since I am sure there must be a better way....

 

I don't even know what I would call this to try to search for it - stumped !

 

thanks in advance for any pointers and assistance, much appreciated !

    Use the MIRROR command for placing components on the bottom side of

    the board.
