This allows you to route several tracks at once, for example the tracks of a bus.
In the PCB view, first select the desired airwires specified by the schematic. To do this, drag a catch window with M1H from right to left. In this case, it is sufficient to touch the airwires:

Then type the [Shift] + [B] key for Bus. Now use M1 to start the guide lines to which the bus should orient itself. TARGET uses the current working layer for copper.
Do not start too close to the soldering pads so that TARGET can connect the tracks properly afterwards:
(Image 2: Start guide lines)
The current bending mode is used for the guide lines too. Use M2 to change it. If possible, start and end with a straight section and not with a very short bend. Type [Enter] to define the end of the guide lines:

(Image 3: End guide lines with [Enter])
TARGET tries to route the traces along the guide lines and then connect the solder pads at the end:

The minimum spacing and minimum widths of the signals are automatically taken into account during routing.
