Hello,

The Autorouter option is only available if you have a netlist. A netlist can either be imported or created when you draw the schematics. I have always used Eagle to draw my schematics then create a PCB from my schematics. This will create the necessary netlist file that will allow autorouting.

sorry for the OT. i just don't know where to ask these questions.

i know a little about the eagle lay-out editor. i do manual tracing of PCB. but i know there is this "auto-routing" thing where the PC routes the tracks for you, like the protel design systems'.
i don't know if i understand what i've read correctly, but, am i right that you can write a program (text) in eagle for all the connections or the components to be connected like in VHDL instead of dragging components and connect them yourself? if ever, how do i do that?
also, how do i auto-route?
and, how can i make a "gerber" (right spelling???) file for me to download it into a milling machine?
or maybe, can someone lead me to a tutorial site?

thanks for the help...
