vero board layout confusion!...

[deadastronaut]

hi guys i'm going to attempt the 'KRANK DISTORTUS MAXIMUS' using 'veroboard' from the gallery

however i have never tried veroboard before and need a few things made clear to a novice...

should i print out the layout image mirrored, to see where the cuts in the copper go?(the red squares)...
is this what you guys do?...

i take it i'm looking at the components side (normal print)...because of the chip dot....
and the cuts are underneath copper side!.....hmmmm....confusing...apologies for being thick!...

backwards and forwards!....arghhhhh.........??

Yup you're right on both counts, your're looking from the component side and the red dots are cut underneath, so printing the image mirrored will get you the correct track cuts if you place it on the copper side 

Hope that helps.

nice one cheers....

have only messed around with pcbs etching etc...

this looks like it could be a lot easier..and quicker to get a result...

thanks again.
