Ciao a tutti, ho creato un pcb abbastanza complesso e vorrei evitare di tracciarmi le piste da solo, sto utilizzando KiCAD 6.0, ho visto che esiste l’autorouting che te lo fa da solo, ho visto alcuni video ma tutti quanti usando windows oppure linux, io avendo macOS non so proprio come fare, ho visto un video, adesso lascio il link: Autorouting con KiCAD 5 - Video 15 - YouTube
solo che in primis è KiCAD 5.0 e poi chi lo sta usando utilizza linux, io ho il MacBook e ho già installato tutte le app consigliate ma non so più come andare avanti, anche perché dice di digitare dei comandi nel terminale ma io non so proprio come fare, qualcuno saprebbe come aiutarmi? io sono bloccato al minuto 2:30,
grazie in anticipo, buona giornata!

Hello everyone, I created a fairly complex pcb and I would like to avoid tracing the tracks alone, I’m using KiCAD 6.0, I saw that there is autorouting that you do it alone, I saw some videos but all using windows or linux, I having macOS I do not know how to do, I saw a video, now I leave the link: Autorouting with KiCAD 5 - Video 15 - YouTube 1 only that first of all it is KiCAD 5.0 and then those who are using it use linux, I have the MacBook and I have already installed all the recommended apps but I do not know how to go on, also because it says to type commands in the terminal but I do not know how to do, someone would know how to help me? I’m stuck at 2:30 minute, Thanks in advance, have a nice day!
I’m not a Mac user, so this is based on what is found on the Internet.
To make a .jar file executable from the GUI, you have to first set the permission to be executable. Also as recent OS/X versions do not inclue a JRE, you have to click on the .jar icon and that will make OS/X install a JRE on demand. When you have the .jar running, you can select a DSN file to route from the file chooser.
Besides that you still have to do the export DSN and import SES steps separately. There is a plugin to allow this round-trip to be done from the KiCad GUI, but I don’t use it so I have no idea whether it works on OS/X.
Be aware that autorouting is not a magic solution. Whether you are routing manually or using a helper like freeRouting, good placement of footprints is essential. It’s not unusual to spend 90% or more of the design time for routing adjusting the placement within the constraints of the design until a good result is obtained by routing, which in the case of autorouting is only a small fraction of the effort.
Good luck. Hope the translator does a good job of translating this.
