Being a beginner with not so steady a hand I choose to stick to through hole devices 
But I just tried a simple board with a soic chip
I made a breakout board for TPIC2810D
1 chip and a single row header of 16 pins
The board is single sided so the chip is on the solder side and the header is on the opposite side
I setup the board so pin 1 of the chip is connected to pin 1 of the header and so on
When viewed in pcb the traces appear not be connected correctly but when I export to gcode they are correct
Would someone set an old fella straight
If I were to try this on a more complex board it would make me crossed eyed


Thanks
Richard
