    The command to change the line width is change width, however for the command to work you have to select the lines first so they are highlighted.

    Try the following.

    On your design in the find filter check clines and cline segs, Next window select the area that contains the traces you wish to change. Hover over one of the highlighted elements and right click, choose change width and enter a new width you want to use for the clines etc.

    Best Regards.

    So, there is no way to change width based on a net name for example? Globally

    Or is there any way select a route based on the net name, instead of window select?

    Invoke the 'change' command

    Then in the Options tab disable everything except Line Width: & set the Width

    Then in the Visibility tab enable all the 'Etch' layers

    Then in the Find tab set the Find  Filter to 'Clines'

    Then in the 'Find By Name' pulldown select 'Net' and 'Name'

    Finally in the > Entrybox enter the net name...
