Single layer boards

labrat7

Has anyone done anything with single layer flexible cirtuit boards?

I am having trouble finding out how to define the cross section for only one layer. The layout cross section window says I can't delete either the TOP layer or the BOTTOM layer.

The board I am designing has pads on both sides of a single layer of conductive material.

Any help would be appreciated.

    "pads on both sides of a single layer" is a bit confusing.

    Do you have component pads and routing only on one layer (top)?

    If yes, consider a two layer board and send only the top layer GBR.

    If you have at least a via, it is a two layer board.
