The autorouter is not good enough, we suggest that routing manually

The autorouter is great for quick iterations. It's a necessary part of the package. If I want to spend 30 hours laying out a board, I'll use mylar and tape.

`If I want to spend 30 hours laying out a board, I'll use mylar and tape.` But surely, even if you only want to end up with a set of plots from which to hand etch your own PCBs, manual layout using an EDA tool is both faster and more reliable (because it is easy to create, edit and to cross check with the schematic) than mylar and tape. If a circuit is so complex that an autorouter struggles with it, the chances are it is not advisable to use an autorouter on it anyway because there is too much scope for the autorouter to give you a layout that is connected OK according to the netlist but which is in practice, a signal and power integrity nightmare.

While no autorouter is great...I have not found a better one with simple single sided layouts. Neither Diptrace nor circuitmaker successfully routes my simple boards... EasyEDA is also faster...when the server isn't busy :) A bit more horsepower would be appreciated.

I very much like the tool, my frustration is only because it's so promising want more :) Need to train an ai model to route boards. See what craziness that invents. Sometimes this one makes me laugh with its decisions.
