Works great. Have done many boards that I have only routed the critical traces. The trick is to insure that you modify the line in the ulp to convert to dsn int preprotect = 1; This will insure that if you preroute some traces they will be left alone. Just let it finish because the final passes are to optimize. Have done about 20 boards and have had great luck with some really tough routing problems. Tom

Seems to be a very nice product.Is there a way to select only the bottom layer for routing? Jesse

Yes, certainly. Simply deselect the top layer in Freeroute. I have used
it for many small single sided boards. I usually make a few test runs
and then move the components in Eagle so that tight spots disappear. The
'push and shove' manual routing works great as well. If the autorouter
does not manage, just delete a few routes, draw some connections by
hand, and start the autorouter again. No need to route 'nicely' by hand,
the autorouter cleanup phase takes care of that.
