Re: gEDA-user: Routing Rat lines - ?

I'm new to doing a big layout about 500 traces. What I am trying is to route the short traces first on the top and bottom layers. Select a short rat then alt r works quite nicely. I often have to un-route to do the next trace then re-do the un-routed trace. The inner layer I am keeping for the

I route power, ground, and bypass caps first. Then any critical traces, like crystals or switchers. Then busses if there's an obvious pattern to them (like my m32c RAM array). Then I let PCB have a go at it and see what it screws up, and route those next, etc.

ditto... 1) Placement and power distribution placement includes minimizing ratsnest lines crossing each other and clustering power requirements then figure out how to distribute the power 2) Escape from under the BGA's take bga traces out from under to a bit beyond the edge. again keep in mind
