Follow these steps to complete your first auto-route:

  1. Prepare Design Files

    Complete component placement in your EDA tool (e.g. KiCad, JLCEDA) and ensure all nets are correctly connected.

  2. Export DSN File

    Export DSN format routing file from your EDA tool.

  3. Open File

    Launch PCB Auto Router, click 'Open File', and select your DSN design file.

  4. Configure Rules

    Set routing rules based on your design requirements, or use the default settings.

  5. Start Routing

    Click the 'Start Routing' button. The software will perform routing calculations locally.

  6. Save Results

    After routing is complete, save the SES result file and import it into your EDA tool to review.

After routing completes, if some nets remain unrouted, refer to Daily Tips to make corrections.
