Reduce trace width/clearance routing alert

#1 Post by freddy63 » 08 Sep 2018, 02:11

I have an alert when I try to autoroute with a STM32F103CBT6 (ARM microcontroller - package LQFP-48).
Alert
I use standard parameters.
Now I can't route the pins of the ARM:

I know I'll have to tweak manually the routing after, but please, what do I need exactly to change (which menu) reduce trace width/clearance so that I can start to autoroute all pins of the ARM?

In the Main Menu click on "Route" and then choose "Route Setup..." in the drop-down menu to bring up the Route Setup dialog window. In the Route Setup dialog window select the [Traces and Vias] tab and play around with the settings circled in the illustration below to see if that helps...

Oh. Bummer. I saved the file. then all crashed. First time it does (OS X).
Now when I try to open the file: "File unpacking exception. Probably the file is corrupted."
And the file is empty.
0 bytes.

That's hard.

Of course this happens while I did not backup since I created this.
Aaargh...
