Re: gEDA-user: Manual routing only

[John Dozsa <jdozsa@xxxxxxxx>]

Auto routing is widely used by pcb design groups.  The Rolls Royce of
pcb design software is sold by Mentor Graphics.  Mentor's current
product is "Expedition".  Data sheet is at:
<http://www.mentor.com/products/pcb/expedition/physical_design/expedition_pcb/loader.cfm?url=/commonspot/security/getfile.cfm&pageid=12598>

The other high end auto router "Specctra by Cooper Chan" is now owned by
Cadence Design Systems.  <http://www.specctra.com/>  Both are very, very
capable pcb autorouter tools with matching very, very high prices.
