OrCAD PCB Editor (Alegro) question

Is there a way for me to set the trace widths before I use the auto-router?
 It seems to autoroute with 5mil traces no matter what.

Thanks in advance.

Since no one else has chimed in, I'll offer this - I haven't used
OrCad since the DOS days, but in most CAD packages you set the desired
routing trace width (or range) in the Design Rules.

Thank you, I did manage to figure it out.  For anyone else who is
wondering this: The width needs to be set in the "Alegro Constraint
Manager."
