Working on Bottom Layer of PCB

**Feature Request** Hi Guys When working on the bottom layer of the PCB Layout it would be good if you could turn the PCB over so that all the text and components are not reversed and it makes it easier to route. I am guessing this would be quite hard to do so I guess you could put it as low priority but it would be a really awesome feature.. Let me know what you think

Also Orientation would be good so I could rotate the board by 90, 180, 270 degrees to work on it more naturally :-)

Letting the bottom text no mirror is not difficult, but when the users come from other tools will feel strange. And will be a bit litter strange that the Compoents mirrored, just the text no mirror. Orientation PCB canvas should be a nice feature. Too many TODO (; Thanks.

True, Support. However; coming from Altium designer it is a feature I very much enjoy. Especially when I accidentally don't pay attention to a connector's pin locations. -- a RJ11 was inverted on the back side and I didn't catch it until the board was shipped and I put the connector on.

@M4rcdbk how to set the bottom layer text not mirror at Altium? some one told me it is mirrored too. Any image will help me.

@Support While the following two images don't represent the benefit as clearly as a simpler design might (It's taken off of a project I work on), you can see how being able to flip/rotate the board to better orientate something like this connector will help keep pins/pads in order. Otherwise, one is always saying "I'm viewing from the back side, so pin 1 is really pin 2, and pin 15 is really pin 14". !back view: board flipped one way[1] [1]: /editor/20161115/582a9366701f1.PNG

And the same connector forward: !Front side[1] [1]: /editor/20161115/582a9366701f1.PNG

Whoops. Apologies, must've clicked the same one. ![back side][1] [1]: /editor/20161115/582a934fbe026.PNG

@M4rcdbk @Rodyne In the new version V3.12.1, we added two layers, TopAssembly and BottomAssembly. These two layers' text will never mirrored. So If you configue these two layers, you can make the prefix to bottomassembly, then these text will be no mirror. Warning. The bottomassembly will not be fabricated, so it is no good to solder by hands, but very good for machine. ![enter image description here][1] [1]: /editor/20161202/58416df36ee8d.png
