Subject: Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Re: ExpressPCB software mirror image?

Richard,

Does DipTrace have the ability to print mirror images?

I see the free version has a 250 pin limit. Looking around the web site,
I did not find a definition of "pin." What does it mean?

Thanks.

The scaling seems to be different between them and I usually ended up with a top pattern that didn't match the bottom pattern. The only way I have found to be accurate is that I use the DXF output for my top silk screen layer, I invert it in a cad program. Unfortunately the DXF output will not output the top copper layer.
