+
+## Options
+
+Options can be set in the dialog that appears when the plugin is invoked. They are saved in a file called `fabrication-toolkit-options.json` in the project directory so that they are remembered between invocations of the plugin.

+
+### ③ Offset Component Rotation
+The rotation of components in KiCad Footprints does not always match the orientation in the JLC library because KiCad and JLC PCB used different variation of the same standard. Most of the rotations may be corrected by the `rotations.cf` definitions. To the exception cases: add an 'FT Rotation Offset'* field - with positive values indicating counter-clockwise orientation offset in degrees.
+
+<img src="https://github.com/bennymeg/JLC-Plugin-for-KiCad/blob/master/assets/rotation-jlc.png?raw=true" height=164>
+
+If the JLC preview shows a footprint like this, enter a rotation offset of -90 to rotate pin 1 to the lower right corner.

+The **Origin** field supports the following values:
+
+- `Anchor` - Uses the footprint's anchor point, which can be modified in KiCad's footprint editor.
+- `Center` - Uses the center of the bounding box formed by the footprint's pads.
+
+### ⑥ Override Component Layer
+Some footprints may have their components defined on the opposite layer to there actual footprints. In these instances you can override mount side by adding an 'FT Layer Override'* field to the component.
+
+The **Layer Override** field supports the following values:
+- `top`, `t` - Override footprint layer to the top.
+- `bottom`, `b` - Override footprint layer to the bottom.
