Sorry for the questions I'm just trying to learn the process and do the board correct the first time I route it. I always thought a via was to transfer a signal trace from one layer to an other layer. In my case top to bottom layer.
I did try to create the schematic and then make the board from there but there did not seem to be any logic to what the board layout was when I did the auto routing?
Jay, I notice the LED does not have any traces on the bottom and it is a through-hole component, how do I solder the LED if it is sitting flush to the PCB?
Edit:
I think I see now what you mean Jay, I do not need to switch the trace from layer to layer as much as I have been doing. The pads will be routed on the bottom anyway so I will have something to solder to.
I did have the logic traces at .016 but in your previous post I thought you meant that was too small so I bumped them up to the next size.
