Even if it has been talked about I would add that this is very much needed in capability. However or if ever Altium decides to implement something like this. But as the software stands now it is very clunky with respect to package info on a mechanical layer with respect to two sided assemblies. Too much effort from what I see to deal with this appropriately other than making a top and bottom footprints, which really takes us backwards a few years in the way of doing things. Bob Robert M.
