"<h1>Freerouter Guidelines:</h1>"
"<ol>"
"<li> in pcbnew, using the Layers Setup dialog:</li><br>"
" <li>choose the number of layers, and enter the name of each layer.</li><br><br>"
"    These should look something like this (if a 6 layer board):"
"<ul>"
"    <li>Front - signal</li>"
"    <li>Ground - power</li>"
"    <li>H1_Signal - signal</li>"
"    <li>V2_Signal - signal</li>"
"    <li>Power - power</li>"
"    <li>Back - signal</li>"
"</ul><br>"
"    Notice that after the layer name there is a layer type field, either 'signal' or 'power', typically."
"    Any layer identified as 'power' will be removed from the layer menu in Freerouter,"
"    as this will be assumed to contain a power zone."
"</li><br><br>"
"<li> in pcbnew:  establish board perimeter.</li><br>"
"<li> in pcbnew: load in the netlist so you have all the components defined and instantiated.</li><br>"
"<li> in pcbnew: establish any zones, inclusive of net association.</li><br>"
"<li> in pcbnew: do the degree of component placements you are comfortable with."
"     It is a little easier to accurately position components in pcbnew than in"
"     freerouter, but either will work.</li><br>"
"<li> in pcbnew: set up the netclasses. Power traces might be a little thicker"
"     than signal traces. If so, add a netclass called 'power'."
"     Make its traces thicker than what you establish for netclass 'Default'."
"     Set trace width, spacing and vias for each netclass.</li><br>"
"<li> in pcbnew: export to DSN.</li><br>"
"<li> load up freerouter (keep it running for any subsequent iterations of 5) through 16) here).</li><br>"
"<li> in freerouter: load the project's *.dsn file. Immediately after a load, all"
"     components and traces (if any) will initially be 'fixed'. This is a 'lock"
"     in place' toggle that you can undo by selecting a region with your mouse"
"     and then selecting 'Unfix' from the menu. Occassionally you may want to"
"     re-fix a trace or a part, if only temporarily. This keeps it locked in"
"     place."
"</li><br>"
"<li> useful, not mandatory: in freerouter: set your move snap modulus, which seems"
"     to default to 1 internal unit."
"     20 mils in x and in y is about reasonable.</li><br>"
"<li> in freerouter: finish placing any components, you can change sides of a part"
"     here also, rotate, whatever.</li><br>"
"<li> in freerouter: route the board, and save frequently to a *.dsn file while"
"     routing in case of power loss. Pick the menu option for saving a full *.dsn"
"     file, not a session file (yet). The full freerouter *.dsn file is a superset"
"     format, one that can be reloaded in the event of a power loss. Whereas the"
"     *.ses file is not a complete design, but only with the *.brd file"
"     constitutes a full design. So it is important to backup your work to a"
"     *.dsn file while routing in case of power loss.</li><br>"
"<li> in freerouter: when done, or when you want to back import, then save as a session file, *.ses.</li><br>"
"<li> in pcbnew: backimport the session file</li><br>"
"<li> in pcbnew: at this point the zones have to be refilled. One way to do that"
"     is to simply run DRC.</li>"
