Default Toolbar: The View Actions Toolbar
Default Hotkey: None
Details: When Auto Routing is enabled the software will determine a path to place a wire or bus along. Automatic routing of wires and buses is used either when the user attempts to place a new wire using the Wiring Tool, or when the user moves a component that has wires connected to it. The path chosen for the wire or bus is usually the shortest path between the two points which does not cross other components or interfere with other nets, however, if the user is moving a component and the ' Prefer Existing Path when Routing ' action is enabled the software will try to keep at least some of the new path on the existing path. The way Auto Routing behaves is affected by two configuration options. 'Route in Realtime' and ' Route after component movement'.
