- [Instructor] Okay, so just a couple quick routes there. One other very important aspect of routing is adding vias, so it's just played it through holes, for example, or via that we can jump through to jump into different layers within our routing. So for example, this is a simple case, just a two-sided port. Let's say we've run out of space within our board here, I can also always jump across multiple layers to get where I need to go. So just as an example, this isn't a very realistic example, but just to show how it may work, let's say I wanted to route up my C1 component here to this pad of S2. So most likely I could just work my way around or reorient these components to better organize my routing here, but notice the rats nest crosses an existing route here. So if I wanted to route this I can try something like this, and I'm gonna wanna route it across here, okay.
