So I milled my first PCB this weekend, and it was mostly a success. The board looks perfect.
BUT:
I designed everything on the top level. and when I go to solder it I have to put the components in from the other side (I can only solder on the copper side). And now everything is flipped over, so the IC pins no longer match etc.
I "solved" it this time by bending the pins on my IC around completely to the opposite side. Which made me cringe hard..


I realize this is a rookie mistake. But I wonder how people normally solve this? Is there a better way to work in Eagle so that this never happens. Or can I flip the board in software somehow before I send it to chilipeppr?
I'm hoping there is an easy way to deal with this so that I can keep the human error element to a minimum
