Hello,
I am trying to design a single-sided board with SMD components only (no
drilling). The toporouter (which is absolutely awesome, btw.) routes
almost all rat lines with only several left unresolved. But, what now? I
can do several things:
1) Make the PCB and connect suitable places
I'm not sure I understand the problem with #1. Can't you take the
mostly routed design and back annotate the jumpers so that they are
parts in the original schematic? Then you get what you are looking
for in #3 which you think is the best approach.

Hi,
no, it really does not work. I think you are suggesting #2. The
autorouter is unpredictable. If I change anything in the schematics, the
autorouter comes with different design, often worse than before with
more unresolved rat lines. Adding a jumper in schematics does not result
into
No, I am not suggesting #2. You don't want to reroute the design
after you add the jumpers. Once you have a routed design, add the
jumper pads to the layout so that wires can be added to the bottom of
the board to complete the unrouted connections. Then use back
annotation to update the
