i am sure this will get me all kinds bad vibs but will try anyway cause i am unable to figure it out.
how do you put parts on the back layer?
is it possible to show only one layer when working with two and have only those parts show.
how do you move parts from one layer to the other?
yes i am new to this but i have read a couple of online tutorials and have not found what i need.
where is there a good tutorial?
the learning curve is about as steep as running into a wall.
thanks dave
No worry.
Right-Click a part then select âFlipâ (or press F with your cursor nearby). This works even when you are already moving a part (press M).
Yes, in the right-side panel. Uncheck Layer>B.Cu (the bottom traces) and Render>FootprintsBack (PadsBack wonât hide enough).

Start with âGetting Started In KiCadâ.
No, not here. We all started somewhere and asked noob questions. 
ok that works so far
should this thread be moved to a different place as it is not really concerned with the kicad software?
what is the way to use the libs on gethub?
i tried but didnât seem to get anything.
@keruseykaryu will be your man. Just search the forum for âgithubâ and his name and the results should get you somewhere⌠if still questions make a new thread, heâll find it then 
Where exactly is your problem?
