Hi. Running V18.0.4
I am updating a design originally turned out with version 13.
Multiple (22) Cu pour areas over 4 layers.
Currently these take their setting from 'Area'.
Given the version updates the spokes / clearances are now not the same as original.
I understand why, But it would now make more sense for me to use the default rules and define the spacings there as all or most will be the same.
Question: Is there a way to globally set Copper Pour rules to come from 'Design' rather than 'Area' .
This would save time and the risk of error in resetting each area manually.
Thanks.

You can set up the defaults under the rules tab, then on any particular layer you can override any of these individually if required.

Yes - understood. What I was really wondering if whether there was a quick way to set all Copper Pour Areas to use the design defaults instead of the 'Area' Settings used at the moment.
My concern is that I may miss an area given that there are 22 of them and not notice the omission on screen / gerber check.
