Is there a way to make pads show up on the bottom Layer (B.Cu)?

Is it possible to label pads so that they export to KiCad Footprints on the B.Cu layer?

@BillyPocketNC ATM there is no way to obtain a SMD pad on bottom layer... you need to later edit the pads in kicad fp editor

It would be useful to be able to specify a mid layer as well.

@sslupsky @BillyPocketNC it should now be available: simply add _B_Cu_ or _In2_Cu_ to the Sketch label to set the layer to SMD, Poly or NetTie pads

I have added also the option to assign a pad number (useful in case of single pad each sketch): simply add _padNbr=1 or _padNbr=12 to the Sketch label to set the number of the pads included in the sketch (also _padNum=1 or _padNum=12 are allowed) Please test this new features

@easyw this should be added to documentation and ticket closed?
