Wayne,
Just add the ".designator" string to whatever layer you want in the
component footprint.
If you need to move it, or change the font, etc, you will have to unlock
primitves to do so.
Also be aware that the ".designator" string is part of the component area so
when you move / pick parts and when you move parts to the other side of the
PCB the length of the string is taken into account to calculate the physical
centre.

regards
Leon

Hi All

Is there a way to have component designators appear on more than one layer
?

Excluding just writing text. It would be useful to still have the
association between component and designator.


Thanks

Wayne
