Hi Emanuel, I see that you are pursuing this, so I may perhaps help you in some other way... Considering that you said that it is a simple board, I am assuming also that it is reasonably small, then what "I" would do is this:
1) with all in place, components and nets, save what you have 2) auto-route once, just to see what you get 3) use the Recover or Previous version to undo the routes, 4) if you like what you see, route some tracks manualy using the rat-nets, otherwise move things around for a better layout 5) check DRC to see if there are errors, 6) repeat from 1) or 2) a few times This is not auto-route at all, I know, but you will get what you want very fast. The integrated router is so easy to apply, that I use this procedure even for dual layer and in the end 99% is hand-routed. I hope this helps, Alain Emanuel Rumpf escreveu: > How to make a board single-sided ?? > > In the tutorial I read: > > "We wish to make a single-sided board for this simple circuit, so > we'll tell the auto-router to use only one side.
