It's not that it auto-routes incorrectly it's just not as neat as I'd like it. I'm sure if I was better at it I could get it to do a better job.

I am mucking around with POV Ray and 3D PCB images from eagle ATM.

Eagle now has a "SPICE sim" plug-in but I haven't tried it.
OK, thats good, ill give it a spin, its just im wary of time consuming learning curves for nothing.

Yes, the NIs autoroute is not much cop either and very complicted to set up (well, its OK for digital, but not analog or mixed). What is nice though, is the moving rats nest telling you where to go and its "follow the clicks" manual routing so you cant make a mistake, does eagle have that?.
