autorouting in altium.......

[ssankurathri]

hi
am new to altium. I started routing my board. I want to do some sections manually.so, i did quarter of my board manually. Now, i want to use the autorouting option.
while doing manual routing, i splitted the power plane and ground plane.
the problem is the tool gets hanged up when i use autorouting on this partially done board.

I want the manual routed portion of the board to be undisturbed, ( in anyway) and the tool has to do autorouting for the remaining board.

could any one please help me in this. coz i already spent lot of time on this, but couldn't find a clue.

regards
skr

autorouting in @ltium.......

Doesnt it have an option not to do anything with the routed connection? When you run autoroute, theres a tick box for this...

hi
there is one option like lock pre-routed tracks. By checking this option, it is hanging up.

I rarely use autorouting, but there are times where it would sure come in handy. The autorouting capability of Altium is very poor, in my humble opinion. Has anyone had decent success with any external autorouting programs that can interface with Altium? If so, could you suggest a program worth checking out? Thanks.
