Thanks for the feedback.

I have added a section to the documentation to explain Net Class Directives and the ECO generation options.

Hi Ryan, I've mentioned your idea for a documentation update to Altium.

Works. Thanks Peter.

Would it be appropriate to update this help document to indicate that Net Classes should be added using your method?

Added Net Classes for PCB | Online Documentation for Altium Products

...This is what I was working off of, and had no idea about the Directives thing...

The net classes should be added on the schematic using a net class directive.

Once placed on a net you should edit the properties to give it a name.

You then update the PCB from the schematic document using Home | Project > Update PCB Document. Although net classes can be defined in the PCB editor they cannot be exported back to the schematic.
