freeRouting with KiCad Issues

[CalvinJC19]

I am currently doing a project on KiCad where I am currently up to creating the board layout, components and tracks. I have been trying to get the freeRouting software to work however when I open the .dsn file in freeRouting it bugs out and half open the freeRouting software. I have been trying to find answers for this on the internet but have had no luck.

I am running Mac 11.4 and I think freeRouting 1.4 with KiCad 5.1.10.

Below will be screen shots of the board layout and the freeRouting file half opening:

any help to try and open this .dsn file at this point would be helpful

Hi! Attach your .dsn file, I can try it on my machine.

Yes, post .dsn file and I'll try with 1.2.43 Extra

Hi
Works fine on Win 10, 32 bit FreeRouting 1.2.43 Extra. Solves quickly with zero vias. Pretty nice!

Doesn't seem to have any power traces though. That's odd and very few connections too.

Maybe I am getting only half the file also. To me that would suggest a problem in parsing the .dsn file

Hi
It's not clear to me what's missing. Have you updated the net file in eeschema and reloaded the net in PCBnew? All of the components loaded seem to be connected in some fashion. Not sure what it is supposed to do so hard to say if this is sufficient.

Make sure you have an up-to-date net in your PCBnew before you export the .dsn file. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Hi,
Any updates on this issue?

Thanks, Andrew Lynch

Anche io sto usando KiCAD con il MacBook, a me aveva dato quel problema della pagina bianca perché non avevo installato l'ultima versione di java
