Autorouter Airwire selection not working

[sgibsonG8HSN]

I am trying to use the autorouter for the first time and I can't seem to get the selection to work. I have hand routed most of my board but there is one section where I would like to give the autorouter a try. When I select the autorouter at the top of the screen the autorouter dialog appears. I then want to select the air wires for the nets I want routed. When I press "Select" the dialog disappears and I cannot select any air wires. Am I going about this wrong or Is it just not working? Thanks for any help,

Steve G.

Hi @sgibsonG8HSN ,

So you may not need to do that. The autorouter will not touch any pre-existing traces, so if you have already manually routed the important traces you can let the autorouter just run. If you don't like the results just undo.

Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

Best Regards,

Thanks Jorge! I was afraid it was going mess up all of my existing traces.
