Beginner at eagle, dual layering help

Former Member

Hello,

 

I am currently working on my first project in Eagle, of which incorporates five passive components, a small weather station sensor, and an ATMEGA328p TQFP.

 

All of the items I am using are surface mount, making it difficult to route all on the top layer without any overlap. I therefore decided to use vias, send a top layer route to the via, then run another signal via the bottom layer from there to another via, then connect again a top layer route and send it to the associated pin. However whenever I attempt to connect a bottom layer route to the via, I get the error message "Can't set via to layer 16 at (x, y)".

 

What am I doing wrong here? Is my plan even possible to execute? I am very new to this, please go easy on me image

    When routing with via's you can use two methods:

    1. Place a short section or wire on the top layer and then switch the layer to the bottom and a via will automatically be placed.  Note the key is you must route a short section on the top first.

    2. Manually place a via and make sure you rename it to the net that you are trying to route and ratsnest will connect it for you.
