We are currently working hard at integrating with the octopart api. We aim at building a huge crowd sourced component lib, so you will never have to enter components again.

Grid and measurements are definitely on top of the list.

Autorouter is a bit lower, but want that. We will probably first do some form of assisted routing.

At this point you can download your gerber files and send them to a manufacturer of your choice, but we are working on integrating with services like BatchPCB.

Assisted routing would be way more useful (and probably easier to implement) than autorouting. Also, it would be great to have a versioning system that could pull together the good bits from different attempts at routing.

I've never found autorouters to be all that useful. I've always found their results awkward at best.

I also find routing by hand to be sort of relaxing.
