Hi Chupa,

Place it as normal, but while you’re moving it click on the ‘Mirror’ icon (looks like a 2x2 grid with half the squares shaded on the left side). That will automatically flip the part and place it on the bottom layer.

(Knowledge ascertained from the sparkfun tutorials!)

ha i was just comming here to say i found my answer here viewtopic.php?p=29899&sid=f8db502f1a7da … 114a01640b

i normally keep the sparkfun tutorial open in a window when im working to use as a reference. i dident realize you could use the mirror thing for components as well as txt.

thanks silic0re!
