Post by thread:[ot]: eagle question, changing default wire width

hello, does anyone know how to change the wire width, before running autorouter, so it uses a thicker line when doing its thing? thanks -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways. See http://www.piclist.com/#archives for details.

What does executing the "change width" command (with your choice of wire width) do before running the router? (I thought that the width was specified on on of those option screens that popped up!) RF Jim {Original Message removed}

I just tried this. change width .032; <enter> auto; <enter> and this had no effect as far as I could tell I tried two commands at once and this doesn't seem to work either. I tried the wire .032, then auto - doesn't do anything I bet the default is set somewhere, but I can't find it. thanks {Original Message removed}

In my version 3.55r(heaps of digits here), I simply click on the "AutoRouter" icon and a dialogue box comes up. It's in there.

See http://www.piclist.com/#archives for details. Click DRC, select tab Sizes then change minimum Width to whatever you want and Autoroute.

OK, I've put net classes back to original, and will use min size, under DRC. merci and you know the entire auto router process seemed to work better, with the thicker trace. for some reason, it made a much simpler solution using top and bottom, -more elegant- than with the thinner wires. interesting... thanks all {Original Message removed}

Yes, autorouters can be that way. The thicker trace gives it more restrictive rules to follow so it comes up with a better solution, not just an "easier" one.

Thicker wires 'repel' each other more so the layout is more optimal wrt the end points. One trick is to make traces the same width as pads. This will cause a layout without any between-pins passes to be made. Excellent for 'first time' boards, and ones that need to be reproduced later from film at low resolution.
