Hi,

I've been using the the Interactive Routing tool and under DXP > Preferences > Interactive Routing, it is set to follow the preferred size from the design rule check (DRC) settings.

HOWEVER, I'm trying to figure out how to change the routing width without having to go in to the DRC rules everytime. If I change the Interactive Routing settings to "user choice" under preferences, how or where do I set the change the user choice of the width for the trace?

There must be an easier way then going in the DRC....

Thanks,
-Tim

I kind of answered my own question, you can set your user choice favorite widths from the DXP > Preferences > Interactive Routing. When you have the Interactive Routing Tool selected, press "shift-w" and it'll bring up the Favorite Widths pop-up.

I swear I looked for this for an hour and gave up last time, and it just popped up in Google.

Click on interactive routing button and then press TAB. That will show you the windows where you can set width. This may help you: Doing Layout – Lesson 7 – Learn to Design Your Own Boards
