Moving parts after autorouter?

eagle86951

Is there an easy/auto way to move a part once all the traces are routed?  Do I have to rip up the traces to that part and manually re-route?  When I try to move the part with the traces still attached, the traces end up all kinked and crooked....

    Hi Tom,

     

    I hope you're doing well. Generally, is not a good idea to move stuff

    around once everything has been routed, for the reasons you've already

    observed.

     

    If you move a part with the traces connected everything will kink as

    you've seen. If you anticipate lots of movement, then ripup the

    necessary traces and when your done you can manually route or autoroute.
