I used (for now) the easiest settings (clearance 5 mil, smallest track width 5 mil).Bottom layer is initially a GND plane (but the autorouter can use it to put traces over it).I wonder what is now the best approach to continue: Afaik I have seen much more complex boards which are routed (either by hand or autorouted).

I am sure I can improve rotating or rearranging components better, but I was hoping an autorouter could do better (or at least I hope there is 'some' solution). Initially I thought it did a good job, but then I found out most autorouted tracks had vioations, so I switched on the option 'Rip-up Violations After Routing' and found out like 25%-50% was autorouted. So I tried to use CircuitMaker's autorouter. I made a fairly complex circuit (at least for my level).Īfter spending a few hours trying to manually autoroute, I had like only 5% finished, and every time run into obstacles of not being able to continue routing.
