ELECTRA is a third party shape based PCB router that works well with DEX.
This video demonstrates how to use the Electra Auto-router
Auto-routing with DEX and ELECTRA
It is a new generation of Shape-Based Auto routing software for PC boards. ELECTRA uses a multi-pass, cost-based conflict reduction algorithm to find a routing solution adapting to the natural flow of the nets. Adaptive routing algorithm is the only proven approach to reach a high completion rate. ELECTRA gives immediate feedback on the routing progress and conflict reduction rate.
DEX, by default, does not come with an ELECTRA license. You will need to purchase a separate ELECTRA license. Find out more...
ELECTRA uses industry standard format by reading design file (DSN). Routing results are saved into standard route file format (RTE) or session file (SES).
