Tips

Using Freeroute (autorouter) in Kicad 5

In Kicad 4, freeroute was included on the toolbar. In Kicad 5, they removed it. I disagree with this, but let's not debate. You can still use freeroute, though you must install it separately. And you need to export from Kicad the DSN (Spectra) file, then reimport the .ses file, as you would've before.

Download http://www.layouteditor.com/ (instructions from https://freerouting.org/freerouting/using-with-kicad). Extract and navigate to the bin folder, and you should find a freeRouting.jar

To run it:

java -jar freeRouting.jar
