Re: DRC rules

 

Hello Jeff,

I just tried version 9ff09aa784551264e89350368f61ed6b35266f7a, but
it still fails. I tells me that it requires 1.3mm clearance, but both
the hole and the track are in the "Net-(C1-Pad1)" netclass, which should
only require 0.25mm. The plane clearances are as expected.

With this version I can fix the problem by changing the drc file to
remove the default clearance of the netclass. So what I have now is:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(selector (match_netclass "Net-(C1-Pad1)") (rule "1.3mm")) #  the "default" rule
(selector (match_netclass "Net-(C1-Pad1)") (match_netclass "Net-(C1-Pad1)") (rule "Default"))
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If the "default" rule is removed everything is OK. Now obviously I can
do this, but it has consequences for the number of drc-rules I need. For
the big design I can constrain with 451 lines when I can use a default,
if that's not possible I need 7437 lines.

There is also an overflow at some point. Two pads, one at (364, 218.5)
and the other at (124.45, 50.4) are only 4.351mm apart according to the
DRC check.  I'll create a testcase if you want me to.

regards,

Mark.

	Hi Mark,
	
	The hole clearance logic never got updated to pass both items (the track and the hole).  It should work now.
