Display Backside
A somewhat small but yet very important feature;
viewing a design from a “backside” perspective is very useful when
it comes to adding text, nomenclature, or any other piece of
information that needs to be placed on the solder side layer.
Additionally, more and more boards have both top and bottom side
components and the Display Backside function enables you to quickly
toggle your view for silkscreen readability. Like the Negative View
mode, Display Backside can be toggled with a simple hotkey.
