Hi Stefan

When I routed boards at work a couple of years ago I often made 2-layer
boards with the classic vertical traces at one side and horizontal at
the other.

I used to start routing the Power and Gnd , then I routed important
signals manually .

Then I locked that traces and used the autorouter for the remaining.

After that came the part when you fix the traces not solved and final
touch up.

Last we often placed a Gnd area to fill up all unused areas of the
board.
