Layer Setup Type.


 

I recently look at the menu Design Rules --> Layer Setup in PCBNew and find that is possible to define a type for each layer. These types are:

Signal
Power
Mixed
Jumper

I read in the PCBNew help that these attributes are useful forn an "external routing application".

I'm not a very big fan of autorouting boards but when the board is simple this is a great help. I want to know if there is an autorouter program that can work with KiCAD besides freerouter, beacause the latter don't support "types" for each layer. This property is something that I ask to the freerouter designer but he wouldn't do.

There is another utility for this option in KiCAD (Layer Setup --> Type of each layer)?

Thanks in advance.

Regards, Mauro.
