Summary

FreeRouting is a routing software intended but not limited for Printed Circuit

Boards (PCB). By using the standard Specctra or Electra DSN interface it

works together with numerous CAD tools including the LayoutEditor, KiCad

and Eagle. It imports DSN-files generated by the Specctra interface and

exports Specctra session files. FreeRouting was developed in 2004 by Alfons

Wirtz. He stopped the development in 2008 and published the source code

under the GPL in 2014. From 2015 FreeRouting is included in the LayoutEditor

packages and its source code is maintained by its team.
