I have an EDGE connector that protrudes into the board on both the top and the bottom of PWB. How do I add graphics on the Assembly Bottom layer with FP Designer? |

You can insert "Drafting" items (icon to the left of the "Print" icon) for the Assembly Drawing layer. Select from 8 different shapes and make then any Size, Line Width and Location.  ------------- Stay connected - follow us! https://twitter.com/PCBLibraries" rel="nofollow - X - http://www.linkedin.com/company/pcb-libraries-inc-/" rel="nofollow - LinkedIn |

Running v2016.14, I only get two options: "Polarity Symbol" or "Keepout". When I choose "Polarity Symbol", I also only get two options "Legend Top" or "Assembly Top". I don't see a path to add Assembly BOTTOM layer graphics with that menu.After I place a shape with that menu on "Assembly Top", I tried editing its properties but it also only shows TOP side legend or assembly. I don't see how to assign the graphics to the BOTTOM assembly layer.

I talked to the programmer that is responsible for this and he's going to do these things for the next V2017.02 pre-release that will be uploaded later today.
