Placing components in Circuit Studio changes the layer and mirrors overlay

niteowl12
niteowl12 over 7 years ago

I have no idea how or why this started happening but all of my placements are changing the library defaults and mirroring the designator. This makes no sense. Is there a setting I accidentally changed and have missed during my hours spent trying to figure out what went wrong. Please help me figure out as this is wasting a lot of my time having to change everything manually. It does not matter what library i grab parts from and when I flip the part using L it changes everything like it should but shows bottom layer with top overlay.

 

Thanks,

-Jason

    Jason,

    I am assuming that you are attempting to place the parts directly on the PCB without first going through the schematic.  If that is the case, select your part and drag it over to your PCB.  While you have the mouse button held, press the tab key.  Change the layer to TOP Layer and then press OK.  Place the part.  Now your PCB editor will default to the TOP layer.
