Maybe he's talking about the auto-router. You could set the top layer
cost to the max value (99 I think) and then it will put far fewer
traces on the top layer. You can also draw a polygon in the tRestrict
(top restrict) layer that covers the whole board...this will keep
traces off the top layer altogether.
I tend to manually route anyway since I'm still kind of a beginner
and I'm doing small layouts.
