To activate the Auto Layout feature in Flux, follow these steps:
- Ensure your schematic is finalized and your components are placed appropriately.
- Verify any board constraints (dimensions, orientations, keep-out zones, etc.) are set.
- Confirm that you have sufficient Copilot credits available, as the Auto Layout feature consumes credits based on complexity.
- In the PCB tab, scroll to the bottom and click the Auto Layout (or auto-route) button.
- Review the iterative layout preview that appears. Drag the scrubber to compare iterations, and when you find a satisfactory layout, click the apply (check) button to set that iteration as your board’s layout.
For a detailed walk-through, please refer to the Flux Documentation on Auto Layout.
