Hey There,
I have a board layout and some through hole components on the build so far.
The previously set up outline had some header terminals that will not accept my Via placements for from/to the through hole components.
Is there something I can about the previously selected board (BBB) to accept my Via placements into the headers?
Seth
P.S. For instance, I cannot connect U1 or U2 to either header via Via marks and Route Tracks.
here is a photo:
Do you have a schematic?
No, I sure do not have a schematic but…

For your own benefit . . . create a schematic, it’s a little time invested and the rewards are worth it several fold.
There is a schematic on the cape prior to my toggling ideas around with KiCAD and then I added some parts in the schematic but…
a. I am not sure if my schematic is correct.
b. I do not know much about schematic making.
c. The template does not allow for pin assignment from/to the headers on the template.

Having no schematic in KiCad you give up may be even 90% of help you can get from it in designing PCB.
The main task realized by PCB design software (like KiCad) is to keep eye on your PCB to be in accordance with your schematic. Having no schematic KiCad don’t knows what is correct and what wrong at PCB.
Thank you.
I understand now.
I hope so because we are seeing a rise lately of people getting very hot headed and blaming Kicad because their project won’t work and it boils down to No Schematic 
Almost as if they can’t be bothered. Kicad (All Cad) has a workflow, and can be quite flexible, at least it is in the good software (Kicad 
) but there are rules set in stone and one of them is, make a schematic, it’s easy and Kicad can keep an eye on your mistakes 
Got it…
As some might already be able to tell, I am slow to learn and quick to act. Vice versa too.
Anyway, I have a schematic now. It is not perfect or even close to perfect but…
I will keep learning and attempt to post it soon.
