     Oh.  That problem.

     Have you discovered the "Neck Mode" option that shows up while you are editing clines?

    You'll have to set the width of the trace you want to use in this "neck mode" in Constraint manager.  But, it works really well.

    Sorry about that.  I'm not familiar with Orcad features as I own an Allegro seat.

    You could choose a thinner trace and add polygon fills to beef it up.

     I feel your pain on the feature problem.  With PADS LS, net class isn't available.  Have to upgrade to the ES flow.

    I have to ask.  What does the ground fill between the pads do?  Can you suppress that?
