I was trying to replicate a two layer board, and I realize how good would be if we can rotate the PCB in order to view the PCB from below, i.e. from the bottom layer. This is because I had to make this rotation in my mind in order to duplicate the board in EasyEda. When you have the original board in hand, when you rotate it, the pins and tracks are mirrored, but in Easyeda PCB layout you only have the top layer point of view.

It there a date for this feature? Some designs are a pain to properly route because working on the bottom layer from the top side is not very convenient. It's ok for simple stuff but because labels and packages are inverted, it becomes difficult to work on it. I constantly have to review the photo of the bottom but since it doesn't contain the components, it's not very useful except for catching small issues.

Please this function needs to be implemented! It's a real pain trying to work on the bottom layer from the top!

That would be super great. I feel blood pressure in my head when working on bottom layer, like my computer with 100 chrome tabs with fans at 100%...

I wish there was a flip mechanism in general. Trying to make a split keyboard with about 2-3 stacked boards per side, all mirrored with some routing differences for the other and smt components sometimes being on top and on bottom and it's quite frustrating.

Yes, especially when I try to design a logo on the back side. Annoying...

@BigAl66, Surely you design the logo as a top layer item then place it on the bottom layer once it's been created.

Hey everyone, I've just made a small Extension that lets you toggle the view between Top and Bottom view :) [https://github.com/xsrf/easyeda-toggleview](https://github.com/xsrf/easyeda-toggleview)<br> <br> I hope it works for you. It may not be perfect, but it may help. I hope EasyEDA will integrate this feature in the future. I've tested it in Chrome and in the desktop App. Basic manipulations, like moving shapes, adding shapes, etc. seem to work fine. Some special tools might break however. The measurement / dimensions tool will be flipped. Also the X ruler will not show the correct direction.

very helpful @[andreasbernhofer](https://easyeda.com/andreasbernhofer), thanks.  It's hard to align text and bitmaps nicely when looking at the mirrored view, and having to keep jumping to the 2D view is much slower.  +1 for having official support.

Is there a way to Toggle the drawing, but keep the document layer the correct orientation? I want an assembly drawing to show the bottom side of my board, viewed from the bottom, but positioned within the correctly orientated canvas boarder and document info.

<font _mstmutation="1">@jackjack </font>Hello, if you want to switch to another layer to draw on, you can click the brush in the layer tool on the right to place it on the corresponding layer so that you can draw on that layer.<font _mstmutation="1"></font>![image.png](//image.easyeda.com/pullimage/juWfMtoP1GemQ6jc2tLo2z9sOfTggJLH8Rip9krF.png)
