?I have not reached the point of doing the PCB yet as?I am still working the design. Is there no manual router? A single layer PCB,?I wouldn't think,?would?not have the level of complexity that would require an auto route. I am new to KICAD and mean no disrespect just a question.

I have discovered I can force the autorouter to work only on the
copper side by selecting copper for both layers in the Select Layer
Pairs dialog.
