The smartdisperse plugin provides an action called smartdisperse that -uses a loaded netlist to arranges layout subcircuits linear order based on -refdes. +uses a loaded netlist to arrange the layout subcircuits in a linear order based. +on the netlist connections rather than arbitrary subcircuit order.
The plugin is useful with a GUI HID for initial layout, as well as with batch mode to programmatically generate subcircuit 'proof' sheets. The layout must -include a netlist for smartdisperse to work. The plugin uses the netlist to -disperse all the subcircuits or all selected subcircuits according to a linear -order in a spaced grid at the top of the board outline. +include a netlist for smartdisperse to work. The plugin uses the netlist to +disperse all the subcircuits into clusters prioritized by netlist connections.
