The smartdisperse plugin provides an action called smartdisperse that -uses a loaded netlist to arrange the layout subcircuits in a linear order based -on the netlist connections rather than arbitrary subcircuit order. +uses a loaded netlist to arrange the layout subcircuits in a linear order at +the top of the board, based on the netlist connections rather than arbitrary +subcircuit order. To use, run in the cli with :smartdisperse() or +:smartdisperse(all) to disperse all subcircuits, or :smartdisperse(selected) to +only disperse selected.
-The plugin is useful with a GUI HID for initial layout, and possibly as well as -with batch mode to programmatically generate subcircuit or layout 'proof' -sheets. The layout must include a netlist for smartdisperse to work.
