Well, I don't know what the mystery is. If routing is not complete
and you still have airwires, you restart the autorouter the same way
you started it the first time. If there are no airwires, rip up
some traces with the yellow rip-up icon tool to create some, then
restart autoroute. Draw a box over the moved component with the
group tool, then click rip-up, and right-click to unroute all of the
grouped connections. Or rip up everything to start from scratch.
Or whatever you want.
