Flip components AND tracks at the same time?

Avatar Posted by dracheschreck at

Hi! I'm currently trying to flip some components which have already been routed. Sadly, when I try to do it, extra vias appear and it doesnt work properly. I just want to have the same exact components and tracks on the other side

Anyone knows how to achieve this ?

    Hi dracheschreck,

    This is because you have tracks attached to your component. You have two options here:

    1. select the IC AND the connected segments, then flip - this will move them all to the bottom layer and create vias on segment's bend

    2. unroute the tracks connected to the U1 pins (CTRL+U) then flip and connect tracks with vias in desired positions

    Hope this helps
