Ensure the 6 Pin connector is Vertical and placed on the right side of the board.
Ensure Pin 6 VCC  on the 6 Pin connector is at the top of the board.
Ensure Pin 1 on all the Resistors are on top and are aligned with the Pin 6 VCC on the 6 Pin connector.
Ensure Pin 1 on C1 Capacitor is aligned with Pin 1 of the Resistors.
Ensure Pin 1 on Y1 Crystal is on the top.


Connecting Traces

Reading Netlist and placing footprints from components

Select Read Netlist from Upper Toolbar. Click on Read Current Netlist. Then select Close
Adjust any component that needs to be aligned.
Click on component to select it and use the M key to move and the R key to rotate. 

Start Routing Traces

Select Route Trace right side tool bar. Click on Pin 6 VCC and drag straight across to R2.

Place all components on board to match in picture.


Place just above the wire as seen in picture below
