Hi there,

Is anybody uses Eagle for PCB designing? I would have some questions:

I am designing an SMD PCB, and it is a two layer one (both sides of the
board). The question is how could I tell Eagle that the SMD pad is on the
bottom layer? So far I could not sucseed with that, only the wire that I
could place into the othe layer using the change command.

Other question is if I use normal components that requires solder pads, how
can I tell that the pad is a kind of via? I mean on both side there is a
solder pad and the drill is a plated one.

The other question is how can I make a via within an SMD pad?

Alternatively: if those things could not be done very easy, which PCB design
software you suggest for Windows -- if possible as cheap as it can be (do
not need six million layer support or few acre board size, just max a normal
two layered credit card size thing. But it has to be able to produce
standard Gerber and drill files.

Thanks very much,
Tamas
