Flip the board to route on bottom

JasonTraud
JasonTraud over 10 years ago

This has probably been mentioned before, but I would love the ability to click a button and then completely mirror the design to make placement and routing on the bottom much easier. I know you can manage the layers and everything with ULPs but it would be great to actually mirror the view and not just hide the layers. Or even be able to see multiple layers side by side.

    Bump!

     

    I would also love to see this feature implemented!

    It would make my debugging session much much easier.

    Hi Miklos, hi all with the same question,

     

    All of the board is shown FROM TOP TO BOTTOM.

    Mirror of the complete board is build in!

    Just mark the complete board  with the GORUP button and then  press MIRROR !!!Group!!!

    and the complete board will be mirrored - also on bottom side.

     

    BUT !!!! - be careful now by routing.

     

    Also you can do this with one component on board, eg. mounting SMD parts on bottom side -> mark -> mirror and this part is in bottom.

     

    Eagle makes Layer pairs - 1 and 16, 2 and 15, .....or 1 an 2, 15 and 16... or equal.

    Your approach does not works if:

    - You have locked down parts

    - If you are using a size limited license and your board area is bigger than the half of the dimension.

    image - workaround: unlock

    image - workaround: just mirror parts that not jump out of dimension. - better buy a larger license.

    Sorry, your argument, yes, is alright himself, but - it is normal that you can move just the unlocked parts.

     

    Best Regards,

    Gerald
