Photoview

The photoview lets you take a look at your board as if it was already manufactured, with drillings, silk screen, etc. This helps you to find typical mistakes like wrong mirrored components or text.

 

To activate the photoview, just click on the corresponding button in the left toolbar:

 

A small tool-window appears with the available options for the photoview:

Side 1 = C1/S1

This will show you the board from side 1 (top). The layer C1 and S1 are visible on the board.

 

Side 2 = C2/S2 (mirrored)

This will show you the board from side 2 (bottom). The board is turned round. The layer C1 and S1 are visible on the board.

 

with silkscreen

With this option you can show or hide the silkscreen of your board.

 

X-Ray

With this option, the board becomes a little transparent, so that the other board side shines through.

 

While the photoview-mode is active, you can use the normal zoom-functions with your mouse.
