Protel autorouting track width

[Ivan]

I setup PCB Rules for larger track widths that apply to six power
nets, however the autorouter will not recogonize this and makes all
tracks the same narrower width.

What am I doing wrong in the Situs router setup?


Thanks,

Ivan

Ivan,
Your error is in trying to use the Situs router at all. 8^>
How can you expect an essentially free module of software to
do something of real value? Depending on your design type, even a
Cooper Chyan (Cadence) router may be of limited usefulness but
costs more money than DXP's whole suite.
In a lot of ways Ivan, I am not kidding. The rules generation
and which rules are followed by the router mean that predictable
and acceptable results are very unlikely.
