You'll want to create different classes in the schematic. Type "class" into
the command line interface. A dialog comes up with class definitions. You'll
probably only have a "default" class. Define some more classes, such as
power, clock, etc. with the trace widths, clearances and drill sizes you
want. Then type in "change class". A menu with all the classes comes up.
Select the class you want, and then click on the schematic nets you want to
be the new class. Then go to your board and autoroute. The different classes
should show up with their different widths, clearances, and drills.
