Preventing bottom side placement of package symbol

archive
archive over 18 years ago

I have package symbol that I want to prevent from being placed on the bottom side of a PCB.

The ideal solution would be that I get some kind of warning when I try to place the symbol on the bottom side, but still have the option to override the warning in the rare case that I would like to place it on the bottom.

Is it possible to do that?

    Another method is the ALT_SYMBOLS_HARD property. See the property reference manual
