I'm now trying what you said to me. But can you explain to me (please) how the "cost system" works? I read the freerouter's help but I still don't understand this completely. What you tell me to do works very nice, but some traces on the component side (my jumper layer) are not a simple line (the traces have angles). I need that this traces be simple lines because they would be implemented with wires in the hardware. But first of all I have an idea: I'll try to change the cost on the component side to a high value on a prefered direction an a higher value in a non prefered direction. Then autoroute. When the process finish I'll fix the cooper traces (to make no more changes on them) and the select 90 degrees in router parametrer. Autoroute again to see the results. With this I expect a component layer with only simple traces. What you think about that? Any other sugestion? Sorry for my very bad english, I'll hope you can understand me, and I keep practice my english. Regards. Mauro.
