Eagle autorouter not working

Autorouter was working ok and I created a simple circuit layout but

after moving some components around, autoroute has stopped responding, i

says its 100% complete but it doesn't move or route any of the wire

tracks. Its looking a real mess with tracks all over the place. Has

anyone had similar problems or know how I can get autoroute back to a

working state?

 

That's probably because, when you moved things around, you left the

routed tracks all over the place! The autorouter will, for very good

reasons, only act on UNROUTED airwires. So if you have made a mess and

need some tracks re-routed, you must use RIPUP on them first.

Brilliant ! thank you its all done. Ripup did the job

Any idea how do you deal with tracks present in the schematic that don't appear on the pcb layout? They aren't showing at all in PCB layout, not even as airwires

Hi,

try "ERC" to check that board and schematic are consitant.

Have you draw the "tracks" in the schematic with the "wire" or with the

"net" command?

The "net" is the right one.

Are the nets connected to the pins of the symbols?

Try to move the symbol; the net have to move with the symbol like

a ribbon.

Thanks Werner

I had drawn with wires so I've changed to nets. Thats done the trick but how do I avoid wires crossing? I guess thats why I should use vias? Any pointer?

Thanks

Hi,

the "wires" on the board or in the schematic?

On board: there a differnt layers witch you can use (top/Bottem)

If you use the "Route" command you can switch the layer with the

mouse button.

In schematic:

If you cross two nets they arenot connected. If you want do this you

have to use "junction".

Please refer http://www.cadsoftusa.com/training-service/tutorials/

for a manual that suites to your eagle-version.

Thanks Werner

That did help I mean't the wires on the board, I used different layers as you said and it created its own vias.

Thanks for the help

so I'm ready to create my gerber files and I've noticed that the onboard audio pro micro thats a component in my project seems to be adding its drill holes to the final gerbers. Any ideas how I eliminate drill holes, pads, vias etc that are part of a component only?

thanks
