Just a friendly reminder that net classes are not a good approach for 
some of us.

I have never used net classes because they make the assumption that one 
want's constant trace/space on a net.

Most of my boards these days are using components with BGA or LGA pad 
spacing tighter than I want to use for the rest of the board.

I have to keep all the new router features turned off so that I can lay 
down tracks which violate the default netclass (which I keep set at a 
medium trace/space so that my whole board is not laid out with the 
minimum space my manufacturers can do, the alternative to is adjust the 
default space as I go, but I find that I forget to change it back to the 
larger space too often).
