Routing by itself is solved problem, there is no need for AI here. But! AI could be used to look at datasheet of the part and identify the signal. Typical status LED or power good signals do not care about routing while power and high frequency signals are very sensitive to the routing.


For one, routing is not a solved problem. It's an unsolvable problem with a lot okay solutions.

Second, you're describing netclasses. Every EDA package has this feature. You have to click one extra box when setting up your symbols.


That doesn't seem hard for the PCB designer to simply specify when designing. Although, I don't know how to design PCBs so I may well be missing something.


It’s not hard, but nobody has time for it. Curating footprints and symbols is very time consuming task.


Couldn't you simply do it with a few clicks when creating the signal?


Too difficult and annoying. We should burn several MW to save designers a couple of clicks.
