Also, Lloyd, you can quickly assign name/numbered nets in SCH using the auto-numbering
support (e.g., Abc1, Abc2,...). Then in Design | Classes... | Edit, you can use the
filter (Abc*) to select them all quickly.

G'day Lloyd.
The place pcb directive, the little P flag that lives on the standard Wiring
floating menu in Sch, only has options for track width. I have found it more
productive to create Net Classes using the Design - Classes drop down menu
in PCB. Set up a net class for each common width or clearance required, add
the required nets and give them a meaningful name eg Power_High, Power_Low,
Clk_1, Clk_2 etc. Then make a Design Rule for each net class.
If there is a way to set up net classes from the Sch editor before
synchronising to the pcb could somebody let me know how ?
A useful feature would be to allow the rats nest lines to be clicked on to
add nets while in the net class create menu.
