Kicad doesn't have autorouting though, so you'll still end up either doing it manually or using a 3rd party tool.

Autorouting almost always creates garbage routes, with tons of vias. You're so much better off doing the routing yourself.

(And yes, I tried the autorouting java package. Ive also used other routing packages. Its so much MISS and very little HIT.)

Thanks for the info. Have you checked this out?

(Not being snarky, looking for some clues to get me going)

My intent is to produce single and perhaps double layer prototype boards using a CNC Router and hand soldered vias.
