Changing the component layer

gtaylor

 I cant seem to find the answer to a problem im having with one of my designs in pcb editor, but how do i change the layer that a component footprint is on? While every other component is sitting on layer 'TOP', i would like one of the other components to be on layer 'BOTTOM' so that it can be mounted on the bottom of my pcb.

Is this possible?

    Select the component.  Right mouse click and select mirror to move a component from top to bottom or bottom to top.

     Thanks Ken, i did try that but i wasnt sure whether it was just mirroring the component, but leaving the silkscreen/assembly drawings on the top layer?

     So by mirroring, will the silkscreen be placed on the bottom of the board now (effectively tuirning it into silkscreen bottom)?

    Thanks again.

    Gary,

         That is correct.  It will switch anything from the top to bottom layer and the bottom to top.
