Setting trace widths, etc. for Autorouter

Former Member

Before letting autorouter run is there a way to set the power traces (e.g., 12V, GND) to a wider width than the signal traces? Also, is there also a setting that allows only 45 degree bends for traces?

Thanks,

Jeff

    Eagle autorouter is also annoying in that it will waste/ignore available

    space...if 10 traces need routed in an area it will pack them right next to

    each other, even if that means leaving 500 mils of adjacent area completely

    unused. There should be an option to space apart the traces to avoid shorts

    or signal contamination when plenty of room remains (maximize spacing but

    allow a minimum clearance).  It's like shoving all of your furniture into

    one corner of an empty room.
