Hi Dave,
I agree with you, I didn't like how the autorouter turned my board into swiss cheese. It put in 800 via's where after I was done redoing it all, I was down to 350 vias. But it took a long time... about 70 hours to route 40 chips on an S-100 board. Josh. > Subject: Re: [N8VEM-S100:4354] FreeRouter No longer available.

I don't really believe in autorouters, though, so take my preferences with a grain of salt. > > > - Dave > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "N8VEM-S100" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to n8vem-s100+...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. |
