I've noticed that if you mention the auto-router there's a deathly silence here. Anyway, here goes...
I've noticed the following, which potential users of the auto-router might like to be aware of: 1. The copper to copper clearance you get is half that specified in the clearance parameter for the route style selected (unlike manually drawn tracks). 2. All auto-routed tracks don't have the clearline flag set (so they don't clear polygons), whether or not you have the flag set for new lines clear polygons in the settings menu. 3. After auto routing, the select/unselect buttons in the net list window don't work any more. You seem to have to exit pcb and restart for them to work again. Seems to me the first two could be called "features", whilst the last looks like a bug (I'm using version 20060822, I don't think it did this in an earlier version). I'm not a fan of auto routers either, but for quick non-critical prototypes of the sort our students often want to produce, partial auto routing can save a bit of time. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
