I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but...
I created 3 boards that have one or more vias on each. If I create a drill
file for each board, the drill file does contain all of the via drill holes for
that board. I then put the 3 boards onto one panel and then created a drill
file. In
the real question is :
what is the differnce between soldcomp maskcomp ???

Hi,
See pcbnew manual, chapter 5.
Mask: keep out varnish covering. To prevent varnish (or mask) covering of
the pads.
Soldp: solder paste allow on smd components. Used to create screens and
stencils to applicate solder paste.
Not exactly but almost, one is the negative of the other one.
Hopefully the following details will provide some additional clarification
about the differing natures and roles of the solder mask and paste mask layers.
An example of where details on a solder mask layer and (associated) paste mask
layer would *not* be the same involves (surface mount) pads
thanks a lot :)
it is very clear to understand.
I exported those layers for the 1st pcb of my project.
I'm going to post another question about freerouting.net and native autorouter
in kicad :)
talks soon

hi,
I would want to autoroute my pcb.
I tested native autorouter... on several pcb, it began to autoroute and
finished . on some other, it didn't start and just displayed the whole unrouted
wires.
so, I tested freerouting.net
it works everytime and it is pretty good!
BUT, how to use the result

Maskcomp is the solder mask layer. Soldcomp is the solder paste
layer. It is used to make a stencil to apply solder paste.

hi Brian,
here is the error message (in french, but I can translate it)
here is the ses file from freerouting.net, too.
I hope I can solve that ...
as I wrote, I don't understand too why sometimes kicad doesn't autoroute
anything :-(
if it does, I don't use freerouting.net anymore but ...
Hi Julien,
It looks like a problem with your designators. A while back a problem
was fixed with the specctra import where a component name began with a
number instead of an alphabetical character. So your component 1pin
should now parse correctly.
I think your problem is with the reference

Just one more comment: It pays to take a real good look at all your
Gerbers with a gerber viewer. This usually makes it obvious what
function a certain file has
