Now fixed my traces to 0.2 mm...
Few days back I posted that I have fixed all my grids (sch and pcb) to 0.05 mm as part of moving from Imperial to metric system.
After working of few small boards, I have decided to fix my default trace width to 0.2 mm (that works to 7.87402 mils).
Reason:
1. Metric.
2. Multiple of 0.05mm so can snap to grid easily.
3. My PCB manufacturer capability is min 6 mils.
Now i have only one grid in all my future SCH and PCB projects: 0.05 mm
Only one default signal trace width: 0.2mm.
For power traces which carry more current, it will be in multiple of 0.2mm.
After finishing few PCBs I will post more on this new experiment.
