PCB Routing Help


route this board
I’ll inspect placement and board rules, generate/validate neckdowns for the dense packages, route in phases, then clear remaining airwires and DRC issues.
Preflight and routing are still running on this dense board. I’m keeping placement fixed and will verify the final airwire/DRC state before closing.
The delegated routing worker stalled before making progress, so I’ve stopped it and am continuing the routing job directly without changing placement.
Received notification from "PCB Routing Task" that it stopped — taking it from here.
Routing is blocked by extensive overlapping pads on different nets around U4 and its support passives; autorouting would disconnect those pins. I generated 16 neckdowns, but placement must be repaired first.
  • Required: Re-place the overlapping U4 support network while preserving the board outline and fixed connectors.
  • Then: Regenerate neckdowns, autoroute, and run final DRC.
Approve the placement cleanup so I can continue.
