I've looked into this quit a bit and from what I can gather hardly any "professionals" use autorouting or auto placing for all there components. What many do is what I have been pretty successful at. I put the components that need to be on a specific place on the board there and lock them down. Then I do the autoplace which does a pretty good job of getting them in the general area. Then I turn on local ratsnest and arrange on component at a time so the lines have the straightest path. Then I see which ratsnest lines are the simplest and autoroute those a pad at a time. In a few cases I was able to autoroute an entire component but not too often. Then I manually route the rest of the tracks. Have patience. You will be moving things around and erasing lines quite a bit until you get things right. It goes faster with experience but as they say "do in haste and repent at your leisure". This is a labor intensive job and there is really no way around it. I can't imagine what it was like in the days when they did everything by hand on clear film.
