Now I'm confused. I've ended up with some of the tracks showing a
polygon clearance of 10 mil (in an object report) whilst others show 5
mil. After a little experimentation it seems that if I draw a track
manually using the "signal" style (with "clearance" set to 10 mil and
line width set to 10 mil

This makes me nervous.
My fab requires 6 mil minimum distance.

The Route Style dialog refers to the current style. Chose a different
style and Route Style dialog will allow you to change its default
properties.

That's it. Note that "clearance" is defined as "what you add to
thickness to get the cut thickness". I.e. for a 5 mil gap, you need a
10 mil clearance. For a 6 mil gap, you'd need a 12 mil clear
Having tracked a board, I see that tracks generated using "signal" route
style have a clearance in polygons of 5 mil whilst those with "power"
style have 10 mil.
Where is this default clearance set? Under Route Style there's just a
clearance, set at 10 mil. Couldn't see any reference to polygon
