Diptrace trace question for those who are familiar

Don M

Is there a way to define the trace widths for specific traces before placement and autorouting? Can it be done in the Schematic drawing program so that the board program knows to use the different size or do you have to specify in the board program?

Attached is one of my pages. It shows some power relays. I want the switch circuit portion of the relays to use a wider trace between the contacts and the 1x12 connector.

Thanks.

1) Before you run the auto router you must create a few net templates for your purposes by using the drop down menu: Route>Trace Template>Add.

2) Route>Route Setup>Template>choose your new template.

3) For a specific widths for one or more nets: Right-click the net> choose Properties or Net Properties> choose width template.

Now run the auto router.

4) For updating a specific net width after the auto-router: Right-click the net> choose Properties or Net Properties> choose the width template>un-check "Don't change net width">Enter.

Hope this helps
