SMD & DIP components on single sided PCB in Eagle?

[danrogers]

Hi all.

I have not really come across this issue before, but I want to use some SMD & DIP components on a single sided board.

When working with dip stuff, I view from the top of the component, and the tracks on the opposite side, but obviously SMD stuff is viewed from the top but wired on the same side.

If I place a SMD part on the board, is there an easy way to flip it to the bottom layer so the pins will be correct for wiring on the same side as the tracks?

I hope that makes sense lol

Thanks

- When a component is mirrored it changes layer from top to bottom (or bottom to top).
- Mirror tool is second down in left column.
- Components can be mirrored only if the appropriate tOrigins/bOrigins layer is visible.

OR you could put the DIP on the back side of the PCB.
