Work done
- Retrieved the PCB placement workflow and applied the centered-placement strategy, including preserving functional groupings and preferring top-layer placement.
- Inspected the current layout state and verified the board is still defined as 100 mm x 60 mm, 4-layer.
- Attempted a full re-placement of all board components toward the center using the automated placement flow.
- Ran post-move review checks for layout and connectivity.
Success criteria review
- ❌ All components are relocated to a concentrated central region of the board.
- ❌ Supporting parts remain grouped with associated ICs and within their relevant functional blocks.
- ❌ The board dimensions and clearances are verified and maintained.
- ✅ The placement attempt was constrained to top-layer placement where feasible.
Next steps
I could not complete the recentering because the current layout data is invalid: several footprints report impossible sizes and positions, which makes the board appear hundreds of meters wide and causes the placement engine to reject the board as infeasible. Once that corrupted footprint/layout state is repaired, I can retry the centered placement immediately.

Work done
- Checked the current board state and attempted a full re-placement pass to pull all PCB components into a compact center cluster.
- Applied central-region and functional-group constraints for the main blocks: U1 with U2, U3 with D1 D2 D3, the power block around U4, and the control parts around RV1 and SW1.
- Reviewed the post-move board state and DRC/ERC status.
Success criteria review
- ❌ All components are not yet relocated into the board center.
- ✅ Functional grouping intent was defined and applied in the placement request.
- ✅ Top-layer preference was enforced in the placement request.
- ❌ Board dimensions and clearances cannot be truthfully verified as valid for this central arrangement because the current layout geometry is corrupted.
Next steps
The placement engine could not complete the centering move because the current layout contains invalid footprint geometry and impossible component extents. The clearest examples are D1, D2, and D3, which report footprint sizes hundreds of thousands of millimeters wide, making the board appear billions of percent overfilled. If you want, I can continue by repairing the broken layout state first, then re-run the centered placement from a clean board baseline.
