How to mirror and/or rotate the board vie w

autodeskguest

Hi,

 

I created a nice layout, but do not intend to make a PCB from but are going

to sold the parts onto a grid hole board (Lochraster Platine). To do this

for the bottom side, it would be necessary to see that side bottom-up.

Since I am sometimes rotating the board during soldering, it would be

great, I could do the same thing with the view, to get my object in front

of me and the view in sync.

Sure, I can print it (manual tells me, it can be mirrored there) or make a

screen-copy with a picture viewer and rotate and mirror it, but that all

doesn't do the job. I want to have the live-view because, then, I can use

tools like the eye or the info to see things, and I even can change the

layout on the fly as I am soldering.

 

Is that possible already, or would that be a feature request?

 

thanks

    Just group the whole board (parts, traces and outline) and mirror it.

    You may run into problems if you are using one of the size limited version.
