Move a component to the back/bottom side of the board? ultiboard

[Chon.Mech]

How can move a component to the back/bottom side of the board, in ultiboard?

I want to put most of my components on one side of the board, but I want some ribbon cables to come off the back (aka bottom) side of the board.  I would just solder to the other side but that puts every thing in mirror image, and that is bothersome.  

The board I'm holding here is and example of what I want to build.

Hi 

When you imported your parts in Ultiboard, all parts will be on the top side.

To put parts on the bottom, just select them (use CTRL to select more parts)

Then right click on it, and go to properties 

in that screen, go to the TAB  'position', and there you can chosse the 'board side'

If you set this in 'bottom' your part will move to the PCB bottom and will be mirrored so the connections are OK.

You'll see that parts on the bottom hav a different silkscreen color..

Succes!

I did that but when I move a part on the board on the bottom layer, the parts on the top layer gets rearranged. Why is that?

Thank you

Hi,

Under the TAB 'Design', you probably have 'part shoving' on.

That was it. Thank you

But since you are a rare member who answer here, would you tell me the keyboard shortcut to change layers while routing with "Follow Me"?

Many Thanks.

Hi,

Use F2 to change form top to bottom, or between inner layers.

changeing from top to inner is done using the layers tab in the design toolbox.
