Set different width for same trace

Sugreev
Sugreev over 4 years ago

Hi,

I want to connect Data pins of the IC to the data pins of the USB and want the width of that trace to be 15mils. But problem is IC  and USB  pins can connect only 10 mil trace width otherwise it gives error.

Can we change the width of the trace in between ? If yes, can anyone please help me how to do that ??

Thanks

    Yes you can.  Each net can have a standard width and a "neck" width.  You can set the neck width in the constraint manager.  When you route, click on the pin and start to route, then right mouse and choose "neck".  The rules you applied will be in force until you choose to return back to normal.  Check youtube for helpful videos.
