Can you post a link to the footprint?

link is here:   [https://easyeda.com/glenp/proco-rat](https://easyeda.com/glenp/proco-rat) I'm referring to the big 3 pots in the middle.  I want the "drawing" of the pot to be on the bottom silk layer, not the top, like the jacks above them. Note- i'm just learning pcb design, so i know the routing is a bit wonky :)

Note that you can't edit the footprint that has been pulled into the PCB. You have to edit the PCB Lib i.e. the PCB footprint in the library. For more on this please see: [How to create findable Footprints and searchable Symbols.](https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vRBxS8uUSbskSIrJrNabh0A8qp0gZmWfUG7GlXX7oltY6XC9dukqS_BU-w4F-UarCNydPWOYz10VQ5V/pub)

Thanks Andy!  what I'm doing is creating my own personal library (footprint/schematic) and then updating how it looks.  This seems to be working well- I can update the schematic with the new version, and then update the PCB from there.

Thanks but I was after a link to the pot PCB Footprints rather than you particular project. Try just entering the name in the search box in the top left of the forum page or in your User Centre page.

@glenp, Looks like you have edited the PCB Footprint to create your own.  However, you have created a footprint as seen looking from the top layer through into the bottom layer. That is not the right way to do it. * PCBs are always viewed looking down on the top layer and that layer is assumed to be the component side for through hole components (and usually for SMD too). * All PCB Footprints are created for the part mounted on the top layer of the PCB so if you look at the PCB it is mounted on the top side facing you. * If you want the part on the underside of the PCB then you put it on the top layer and then swap it from the top to the bottom layer after placing it. * Designing footprints for the bottom layer will cause confusion because everyone expects them to be designed for mounting on the top layer and then flipped onto the bottom layer. The only possible exception might be if you want a pot to be mounted on the PCB from the underside, with the shaft passing through a hole in the PCB and the mounting pins inserted from the bottom of the PCB. Like this:  If you deviate from the rules above you MUST add notes in the Document layer of the footprint to make it clear what the deviation is. Otherwise someone will pick it up, put it on the top layer and whether they flip it or not,, it will end up wired back to front. I suspect that this is what you want:  Which if you open it in the editor will show you that it has a silkscreen on the top and the same outline in the Document layer too:   This is a vertical mount pot that sits on the top layer of the PCB with the pins pushed in from the top. So to put it on the bottom, place it on the top then swap it onto the bottom. It does not mount with the shaft through the PCB: there is no hole for it. The little cross and the outline of the mounting lug is to help when designing the front panel through which the pot does mount.
