How to mark pins as closed inside a component in TopoR autorouter?
In the TopoR autorouter, you can mark pins as equivalent, that is, a resistor is acceptable, you can connect it on one side, you can connect it on the other, nothing will change. Somehow it turned out to be entered through text editing of the file. But how to mark that two contacts are closed inside the component, that is, that some contacts are the same contact, so that an extra track does not appear on the board, it does not work.
Example: there is a clock button, 4 outputs, 2 contacts are closed and the other 2 too, but you can connect in different ways, you need to somehow explain to the tracer so that he can, for example, "connect" diagonally if necessary, etc. P.
What I just didn’t do: I drew jumpers, but he doesn’t understand them; made a short circuit on another layer, but then he breeds the board in multilayer, although the single-layer wiring is checked; did the beginning of the track on one layer, then the transition to the second layer, like a jumper, then return to the previous layer, but still some nonsense; then in general it writes an error that there are tracks on another layer, since a single-layer one is selected.
If it’s not possible in this program, advise free analogues where it’s possible, even online it’s suitable, I just need to install one board, I wanted to see how the computer does it better, then you won’t take into account all the options, but the computer will try different options.

You can see here in detail how to route boards in Kicad, including integration with Topor. In Kicad, you can assign that the pins are connected, and topor will take this into account.
