I have a 2 sided board. I placed a component on the 'far side' layer, which I'm expecting should be appearing on the 'bottom' gerber output. But no. If I open bottom.gbr, it has the pads of my component (and other vias) but NO traces! If I open 'group1.gbr', it has the traces, but not the pads of the component. Does anyone know how to force everything to the 'bottom' layer? I looked at http://wiki.geda-project.org/#community looking to join the IRC (I'm a bit new to IRC). And in Pidgin, I go to 'Add account', I cannot because I don't already have a user/pass, so I'm not sure where to enter the irc.oftc.net/6667 info. That web page doesn't mention anthing about a user/pass. If I type in "/join #geda" in Pidgin, I see this: You have been kicked by ChanServ: (Invite only channel). It would be nice if there was a little more detail on how to get connected on the IRC... I'm guessing I may have messed with some setting, but it's not clear at all how to recover. Thanks for any tips! -C -- Christopher Nielsen chris AT ZORINco DOT com http://ZORINco.com
