Change the default thickness of wires

Abhimanyu1

How to change the default thickness of wires in layout in ORCAD PCB editor,16.5, before using the atomatic routing. I can change the width, but as soon as I use the automatic routing option, the width changes back to 5 mil, which is the default setting.

    You can change the Min Line Width to "any" value you want, using an "empty" board as a staring point, the default setting is 5mil. Use the Constraint Manager to set the rules, Setup>Constraints>Physical, use Edit>Change, or right-click>Change Width, to change the width of any existing routing.
