Multi-page schematic designs are supported and gerber (extended) file outputs allow the designer to choose who will manufacture the board. You can get around this by creating a ‘Bottom Silkscreen‘ plot when you make the gerbers.Free from practical constraints on board size, pin counts, layers and output types, DesignSpark PCB circuit design software can be used for schematic capture, PCB design, layout and generating manufacturing files. If you want to test the file, companies like have an online Gerber checker – but this can be fiddly as they usually look for bottom silkscreen even if you don‘t have any print on the underside. zip file whatever you want, ideally the board name.
