Flipped board indicator

[silvio3105]

Hi,

In 2D PCB workspace, flipped board indicator is missing.

Sometimes I'm not sure is PCB flipped or not.

Hi @silvio3105,

Thanks for the suggestion, I have made a feature request for it.

Any progress on this yet? It's still pretty confusing which side of the board I happen to be looking at.

Hi everyone, 

Appreciate you all taking the time to detail this in the forum. I'd love to learn more and will reach out via DM to schedule a quick chat. I agree this experience could be better. 

Best regards,

Melisa

Relatedly, is there a command that can be executed to display the back view instead of toggling with "WINDOW FLIP"?
I would like to see WINDOW FLIP OFF or WINDOW FLIP ON implemented.
I want to use a shortcut key to switch layers and flip at the same time, but I can't because that function doesn't exist.
Single layer mode seems to have a similar problem.

Any time. One other thing: when the board is flipped, the layers are still drawn in normal order, so that the top layer still appears above the bottom. This makes it hard to see the layer that I'm trying to concentrate on!

When I flip the board, the display order changes. Confirmed with 2-layer design and 4-layer design. However, keep in mind that the selected layer will always be drawn on top (although I don't really like this).
I'm using the latest 2.0.19215 x86_64. which version are you using?

[pblase]

Ah, that's it. I need to remember to select the opposite layer. Thanks

I'm using the latest version too.
