Hello All!
is single layer with PCB possable?
I want to make a single-layer pcb  with jumpers on component side.

Thanks.


Yes. You may want to give some consideration to how you will verify connectivity. It seems to me that you have two choices.


1) Assuming your copper is on the bottom side, use the top side in layout to put down traces where jumpers will be. This is probably the easiest. Then just fab the bottom side and put jumpers wherever you have top side copper.

2) create a "jumper" symbol in the schematic and put that in places where you need a jumper. This is likely to be a major pain, but you can enforce dimensions of the jumpers this way if you care.

If you're trying to use the autorouter, just turn off all but the bottom layer when you route and it will stick to that layer.
