2 layer auto placement problem

#1 Post by 3015gaurav » 24 Sep 2021, 07:10

PCB noob here.

I'm having 3 rear facing angled pcb mount potentiometer on top layer. and on bottom layer all the passive components are there.

what I'm doing is placing the potentiometer on desired position and locking them with pcb border outline. And then making the auto placement command. but the auto placementer is leaving all the space underneath the potentiometer on the top layer while placing the bottom layer components.

I want to utilise all the space on the bottom layer. Otherwise the components won't fit.

Help

The auto-placer can't utilize areas on opposite side under through-hole components. You can manually place some components under the pots and let the auto-placer do the rest.
