No, don't select mirrored for the bottom layers.  The layers should be=20
oriented so that you're looking down through the stack.

I recommend checking the Gerbers with a viewer and making sure that=20
everything lines up.  The free version of Viewmate by Pentalogicx=20
<http://www.pentalogix.com/index.php?option=3Dcom_content&view=3Darticle&id=
=3D50&Itemid=3D55>=20
is one option for a viewer.

The other strong recommendation is to use Advanced Circuits FreeDFM=20
service.  You send your Gerber files and in a few minutes (hopefully)=20
you receive an email back stating that the Gerbers have passed a DFM=20
reality check.  If the reply takes longer, the response may include=20
errors that may be minor (silk screen width too fine) or fatal (like=20
having the mirrored box checked resulting in a flipped layer.  FreeDFM=20
shows examples of errors it finds and also gives you a quote on boards=20
from Advanced Circuits....which will make you feel really good about=20
using Gold Phoenix :)
