> Since this is DRC, can we keep it in its current place until the DRC manager goes in

Well, there’s DRC and there’s DR.  The other options really control only what is *checked*, whereas this one controls stuff *on* the board.  Granted a lot of Jon’s rules will also fit into the DR camp, but I feel a little more reticent to move this one out.

Thoughts?

Jeff.

Usually I'll have different widths to account for whether the edge is routed, a v-score or mouse-bite disconnect.  I don't usually have multiple on one design but every now and again, I need a close-packed board and want to have larger clearance only where the mousebite is.
