Hi,

I'm new to Altium and just going through the tutorials. I am currently working on **broken link removed**

I have my components placed and have created some design rules. (Pictures attached)

The design rules are not working as expected. When I have the Width Rule (12,12,12), no traces are routed at my preferred 25mils width for 12V or GND. When I increase the Width rule to (12,12,50), all the traces except GND are routed at 25mil. I can't seem to change this using shift+w either.

I thought I had followed the tutorial exactly but the traces are not coming out to be the right widths that I thought they would be with the design rules.

Help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

HI,
Try to change the priority for rule, which can found at the bottom left of design rule window.
 
Hi,

Whenever you create a new rule it will be in higher priority.
Check whether rule for +12v and gnd is in higher priority.
Else try defining netclass for +12v and gnd and define rule

Cool-that seems to do it. Thanks!
