^{THE PRE-DEFINED SIZES ALLOWS YOU TO DEFINE THE TRACK AND VIA DIMENSIONS YOU WANT TO HAVE AVAILABLE WHILE ROUTING TRACKS. NET CLASSES CAN BE USED TO DEFINE THE DEFAULT DIMENSIONS FOR TRACKS AND VIAS IN DIFFERENT NETS, BUT DEFINING A LIST OF SIZES IN THIS SECTION WILL ALLOW YOU TO STEP THROUGH THESE SIZES WHILE ROUTING. FOR EXAMPLE, YOU MAY WANT THE DEFAULT TRACK WIDTH ON A BOARD TO BE 0.2 MM, BUT USE 0.3 MM FOR SOME SECTIONS THAT CARRY MORE CURRENT, AND 0.15 MM FOR SOME SECTIONS WHERE SPACE IS LIMITED. YOU CAN DEFINE EACH OF THESE TRACK WIDTHS IN THE BOARD SETUP DIALOG AND THEN SWITCH BETWEEN THEM WHEN ROUTING TRACES.}
