Can we presume that track widths and minimum distance design rules have been choosen according to electrical requirements (voltage and current)? Then it should be O.K.
Reviewing some layout details, I have doubts about a plausible selection of trace widths. But that's just a guess that can't be checked without a schematic.
hai,
Am not sure about this contraint manager culture,but i can give u the schematic,

see this and give your command,if any mistake inform me.
thank u

hai,
can u tell me, how to assign the values in constraint manager.one of my friend said ,to change the value of a track , right click->change track width.
but when i gave the board for fabrication they asked me to change the line spacing.
The schematic confirms by worst suspicion. The circuit seems to be intended to work with mains input voltage and safe insulation.
You have < 0.5 mm clearance where you need 3 to 6 mm, depending on the applied safety standard, and very thin tracks for currents of several amperes. Wrong pin assignment of some components (MOSFET, schottky rectifier) is a minor problem in this regard.
Starting over!
- review requirements for PCB track width and clearance for different current and voltage levels
- consider double/reinforced insulation between mains and low voltage circuits
- define net classes and design rules according to this requirements
- double check the pin assignment of self defined components
- think about a placement topology that allows to keep the clearance between primary and secondary circuit and sufficient track widths (the transformer e.g. has to be rotated), the mains input connected must be moved to the left side
- study the layout of commercial power supplies or reference designs from semiconductor manufacturers. They can be expected to keep to safety rules (with the exception of some cheap chinese devices).
This is a SMPS design and as such requires careful layout otherwise it will be extremely noisy and may not work.
I cant read what the controller is, but I would look for the data sheet and any layout guides for such device. I would also look up information on SMPS layout as it is rather specialised, and bad layouts give SMPS supplies a bad and unjustified name due to the EMC they can generate.
