Autorouting and autoplacement

Layout
21

Yes, I do that al the time, but how does that improve auto placement? Its still a dog-pile (even a small one)

I found two ways to get like that:

  1. Using text editor delete GND net in netlist file. But I failed if I done that using Windows 7 Notepad (it added 2 invisible bytes to the file beginning making it not readable for KiCad) so I used Notepad++.
  2. Placing GND zone on whole PCB. I’ve done it once - at that moment I’m not sure if zone can be at bottom (where it be at the last), or have to be at top (where are my elements).
