Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] advanced routing

2004-08-04 by Gunnar Lestander

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.
