d2k Posted December 5, 2002 Report Share Posted December 5, 2002 Hi tvog...I'm in the same boat as you...what u need to do is click on the layers buttons then hide all the layers bar the tracks layer...I think they are layed out in reverse so once printed out and layed on top of the board (toner side down) they get exposed the right way and not back2front...Check these links for PCB designing:http://www.westminster.org.uk/intranet/departments/electronics/Upper%20Shell/pcb.htmhttp://www.g3ycc.karoo.net/pcb.htmhttp://www.netcomuk.co.uk/~wwl/pcbs.htmlhttp://w1.859.telia.com/~u85920178/data/pcb.htmhttp://members.rotfl.com/dturner/PCBFAQ.htmhttp://www.robotroom.com/PCB.htmlHTH...
