  1. I have a photo of my through-hole boards copper side, tracks and solder.
  2. I used the: Extras-Scanned Copy, option and imported the image. I choose: 'C1' (Copper-one) right at the bottom of the GUI-window and picked 'Board Side1 - Top' because this board has just the silk-screen side and copper (it's not multi-layered).
  3. I then drew over my image and marked out the tracks and pads.

I need to flip the track-layout so that I can insert components from the library. I tried selecting 'S1' for Silkscreen side but my tracks didn't flip over. I guess I could continue and populate it just the same but I wanted to confirm if this was the right thing to do. How do I then generate a schematic from the layout?

    I would first flip or mirror the picture of the board in an image editor, so you can work on it as if looking at the top of the board. – Peter Bennett May 31 '14 at 16:01
