Hello All, I'm not a real big user of Kicad, the reason may be that the gui is very confusing. I started out with express PCB I thought it was great,very user friendly. The reason why I stopped using it was that it wouldn't produce Gerber files. I then moved on to PCLogic the gui was very similar to express pcb and it also had an auto router. Unfortunately it is no longer available. Then I moved to RIMU pcb. I still use it today; very friendly but no auto router and it has been some time since updates.
I have tried Kicad several times and given up. I go to PCBnew and place components but at this point I would be looking for a rubber band connection. Then I would place an outline around my footprints/pcb and tell the auto router to route the board. At this point I do not care about schematic or even naming the pins/connections on pins If I put a rubber band there let it route. Is this possible with kicad now??? If so are is there a tutorial on this?? Thank you Victor Please read the Kicad FAQ in the group files section before posting your question. Please post your bug reports here.
