I am creating a module from an existing design. I have done the
following:

1, Read in the tec file from the existing board and imported it to the
Module.
2, Read in the new tel file to the module.
3, Took existing (board I want to copy from) and exported the placement.
4, Read the placement into the module, that placed only the components I
needed for the module.
5, Clipped all the traces, vias and fills from existing board from
specific area.
6, Imported clip files to the module.

Now I notice all the traces are missing properties. I am necking down
inside fine pitch BGA's and I have a ton of trace width errors. Does
anyone know how to import the net properties to my existing module? 
I tried reading in the netlist with properties but not sure this is the
best way? 

Thanks
Steve
