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.

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.
  • Change the text "Polarity Symbol" to "Drafting Symbols"
  • Add Legend Bottom
  • Add Assembly Drawing Bottom
