 *'''...a multilayer board?'''<br>Set all copper layers you want to use for routing [[Layer#Visibility|visible]]. However, ''copper inside'' layers must actually exist (e.g. assign the function "copper inside" to layers 10 and 13). [[TARGET 3001!]] has preset layer 16 (copper top, component side) and layer 2 (copper bottom, solder side). Levels 10 and 13 are already named "copper inside", but their function is set to "other". This means that the autorouter does not yet recognize these two layers as usable copper inner layers. The handling of inner copper layers are only possible from TARGET edition ''[[economy]]'' onwards.
 *''''...a board without schematic?'''<br>Place the packages inside the outline of the board and connect the pads with air lines [L]. If different signals are to have different properties (track width, aura...), they are assigned to signal classes that represent these properties.<br><br>
