**Feature Request**
FreeRouter is the most advanced open source PCB router and it uses .dsn files for input. It would be great if you could support it.
Hello, Dillon,
Unfortunately, the local autorouter cannot be compared to FreeRouter.
Local autorouter is suitable for simple tracing with a lot of manual tracing after it finishes. FreeRouter algorithm is capable to handle very complicated tracing with thousands of pins and generates good results in cases when EasyEDA autorouter fails. Local autorouter, simple, cannot compete with FreeRouter at all.
Many users, I know, tried EasyEDA, like this system and... turned back to Eagle and KiCAD because they support the export to FreeRouter, they have the options to specify the wire/trace type and width on SCHEMATIC level, which is absolutely essential option for any EDA design. This is completely missing in your software, and makes in suitable for simple beginners design only.
Please add .dsn export to EasyEDA. It is truly necessary.
Thank you.
Please can this export type be added!
This is my first time using EasyEDA and it was all great up until the autorouter, if I don't have the option to use FreeRouter I'll just do everything in Kicad from now on.
Hi,
Unfortunately the autorouter of EasyEDA is not good :-/
Sorry I have to say that.
I know it is a lot of work to make an autorouter, but this is actually blocking me from completing several complex projects at the moment.
The trick with export/import KiCad via wokwi.com (easyeda2kicad) can work, but... ugh it is cumbersome and error prone.
(because you have to export it fromEasyEDA, convert it easyeda2kicad, with load it in KiCad, export it as DSN, run FreeRouting, import it again in KiCad, save it and then finally import it back into EasyEDA)
The autorouter does not have to be fast... it can run over night no problem, but it has to find a good solution in the end.
I would be happy with a proper integration of FreeRouting - without the need for KiCad.
Maybe a DSN export function?
Thanks & Regards
Simon
