From f581f5b1e23ca19c697112b23565c6afc843a638 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ryan Malloy Date: Mon, 13 Jul 2026 02:43:19 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] Add shove-and-retry to the exact router Before a dropped net is abandoned, the exact router (with shove=True) tries to make room by moving an existing trace aside instead: it forms a straight orthogonal candidate for the dropped net, finds the axis-aligned trace segments that cross it, and shoves each one perpendicular (via shove_segment) far enough to restore clearance. A shove is accepted only if the moved trace still connects its pads, clears every other item exactly against the ShapeSearchTree, and stays inside the board outline, so DRC-cleanliness is preserved by construction. Shoves are bounded (max_shove_depth, per-trace shove_cap) and deterministic. The dropped set now includes nets the grid failed to route, not only exact-clearance rejections, so shove can recover them. The pipeline exposes shove (and rip_up) through route_dsn_board_exact / build_exact_routing_result / route(engine='exact', shove=True); default off, so the grid track and the no-shove exact track are unchanged. --- src/freeroute/route/exact_router.py | 357 +++++++++++++++++++++++++--- src/freeroute/route/pipeline.py | 28 ++- 2 files changed, 345 insertions(+), 40 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/freeroute/route/exact_router.py b/src/freeroute/route/exact_router.py index 7c3b953..260e839 100644 --- a/src/freeroute/route/exact_router.py +++ b/src/freeroute/route/exact_router.py @@ -7,31 +7,48 @@ so segments are axis-aligned) but replaces the occupancy check with an **exact** one: every item's copper is an exact :class:`~freeroute.geometry.IntBox` tile indexed in a :class:`~freeroute.board.search_tree.ShapeSearchTree`, and the routed board is verified to have **no clearance violation** by exact tile -intersection. +intersection.
