for autorouting or do i have to use the schematic view only for nets
In order to get the net for autorouting you need to create the circuit in either schematic or breadboard (whichever is easier) to create the net. However I wouldn’t advise using the autorouter, as it does a poor job usually and in 0.9.3b has a memory leak that causes crashes (I think it has been disabled in 0.9.4.) A hand routed board is generally a much better option (if more work.)
