Assuming there is the schematic to start with. Sometimes it happens that there is just PCB data and one has to go backwards. Commercially that rarely makes sense and one may buy pretty extensive reverse engineering service form dedicated operators. > Pin-swapping and gate-swapping are much more important.

This is exactly why I see value in a completely bilateral system. Drawing a schematic would benefit just as much autorouter as well as rubberbanding. > Thanks to everyone involved in adding the back-annotation feature!
