Thank you for contacting us.
Regarding "Interfacing to other Autorouting Tools," could you please let us know what specific issues or questions you are facing?
The operations performed within Quadcept are limited to the following two steps described in the manual:
1. Exporting the DSN file from Quadcept
5. Importing the RTE file exported from the autorouting tool
*Please note that steps 2, 3, and 4 are operations to be performed within the external autorouting tool.
First, place your components on the Quadcept PCB sheet with the net information assigned, and then transfer the exported DSN file to your external autorouting tool.
Next, run the autoroute process in the external tool and export the RTE file.
*For instructions on how to operate the external autorouting tool, please contact the respective software manufacturer.
*Examples of compatible autorouting tools include paid software such as "Electra Route" and "SimplifyDA", or free software like "FreeRouting".
Finally, take the RTE file exported from the external tool and import it back into the same PCB sheet (where the components are placed with the net information used for the DSN export).
If you have any further questions regarding the Quadcept operations (Steps 1 and 5), please let us know.
Best regards,
Quadcept Support Team
