Post by thread:[OT]:How to set the track width, Orcad, ver 1.1

Hi list! Anyone who knows how to set the track width in the old ver 1.1 of Orcad PCB Layout ? I have tried to use the width option in the pull-down menus but all I get is bizarre results ! So, I'm giving up after some hours of trying. I don't have the users manual here either.

With Orcad 2.2 you start a trace, type "w", adjust the width with the mouse or up and down arrows, push the "esc" key, then continue routing. The new width is "sticky" and replaces the default width.

I then get the question 'track or via', I select track, and I get prompted to enter something. But what ?? Orcad itself gives no hint, I have tried all keys on the keybord (!), and ok, anfter certain keys, including the arrow keys the width changes randomly. I can't determine any system in these changes. I have found one way to change the width, but it is not very comfortable, I exit the program, type pcb /c to enter the config menu, change the default width, save the setting and enter the program again. After that procedure, I am almost lost. Where was I ? Absent-minded ? Yes !
