Auto arrange in Kicad 5?

Hi quys
Anybody knows if some kind of auto placement , auto arrange will see in ver 5?.
Back in Ver 4 we had at least “global spread and place”. Is this gone In ver 5?
Thanks

It still exists with the legacy canvas. With the Modern Toolset (aka OpenGL mode), you normally don’t need it when you first switch from the schematics to the PCB.

I don’t know if you have python access (i.e. not linux yet), but there are some action scripts you may want to check out. Here are two that I know of (note, I haven’t tried them myself so I can’t vouch for them):

As with everything, YMMV

Thanks Efics
I missed that option (F9). At least this is still here.

SembazuruCDE looks promising this python script for auto arrange. At least it will give me some initial help after placing some connectors.
I will have it a look and see how it goes
Thanks a lot
