I'd prefer an option "single sided". This should produce gerbers suitable

Single sided boards do not have plated holes, so pad diameter for pins must be
greater, usually two to three times the drill size. Some footprints have very
small pads which will be too weak if used for single sided board. If pins are
arranged in rows then oval pads may be a solution.

The question about single-sided boards is interesting, but the
answer depends upon how you intend to fabricate your boards.
If you're sending the boards to a PCB manufacturer, then the raw
material they use is fiberglass clad with co

This seems to be a frequently asked question. I added a slightly edited
version of DJs answer to the pcb-faq, err, pcb-tips in the wiki:

Thanks - that corresponds to the "ugly" solution I had considered. Nice
to know that this is normal and works. I have already some unplated
mounting holes, I will have to merge the plated file into the unplated one.

Design for two-sided, but with all the traces on the solder side.
When you dump your gerbers, delete the component side one and rename
the plated-holes one to unplated-holes. Voila! A single sided board.
It's all just names when you're doing single sided. There's no such
thing as a single side
How do I poceed to make a single sided board (copper only on wiring
side, no plated holes), but nevertheless use my footprint library which
is made for multiple layers (that defines copper plated-holes and pins
with copper pads on both sides)?
If I naively use my library and create a single-sid
