The smartdisperse plugin provides an action called smartdisperse that uses a loaded netlist to arrange the layout subcircuits in a linear order at the top of the board, based on the netlist connections rather than arbitrary subcircuit order. To use, run in the cli with :smartdisperse() or :smartdisperse(all) to disperse all subcircuits, or :smartdisperse(selected) to only disperse selected.
The plugin is intended for use with any GUI HID for board layout. The layout must include a netlist for smartdisperse to work. The plugin uses the netlist to prioritize the dispersal of all the subcircuits into clusters prioritized by netlist connections.
