The easiest way is to create two padstacks. The top one is created normally. The one for the bottom is created as blind/buried. The top and bottom padstacks can then be placed at the same x,y coordinate and there shouldn't be any issues. This keeps the pin numbers right reading but you may want to place pin number text that is mirrored to the back row of pins. You may also want to offset the location for the pin number so it is easier to read the pin numbers since they won't be on top of each other. Shirley It is a PRIVILEGE to be born free.
