A constraint area can have a representation on both faces of a board or manufacturing panel (Position is set to BOTH in the Circuit Board Design tab). This attribute is managed during IDF file import only.

In the specification tree, the BOTH type of constraint area is represented by two pads in the same body. Pads share the same properties and modifying the properties of one pad will modify them on the other pad.
