Select the board outline. Choose from your plugin dropdown. Select "High Quality Mode" (this increases computation time by 300% but reduces manual edits by 90%). The software will now perform simulated annealing—trying thousands of placement configurations to find the one with the shortest total wire length while respecting thermal zones. autoplace mod 189 high quality
The result is undeniable. Mod 189 reduces the gap between "auto" and "professional." -- Auto‑connect power poles (extends reach if needed)
