Hello,

great software. I am testing it since couple weeks and I am really impressed.
I found a bug, may be it is not a bug. Maybe I just don't see how it works.

In PCB layout -> Route-> Net Classes -> Use Clearance in DRC -> checkbox seems not to work.

If I check this checkbox, not one of the clearances from DRC are inherited, if you click on "Clearance Details" you can see that and also you can see that if you create copper pours.

Hope you can fix it easy.

Stefan

The option works in different way. If you check "Use clearance in DRC" in net classes, then run DRC, software will check net class(es) as well as DRC rules. Otherwise, only DRC rules will be verified.

Oh thanks,

in this case, it's my opinion, this checkbox should be in the menu were you define the DRC rules.

And I think there schould be a possibility to connect the DRC and Net Class rules, in some projects it can save tons of time.

Right now, users can enable/disable verification of each net class individually while performing design rules check. If we move the "Use clearance in DRC" checkbox to DRC settings, then all net classes would be enabled/disabled together for DRC. What is the best way? We are interested in user opinion.

Oh,

I think that is a great idea. And I would let it be as it is. In this case I just would rename the checkbox legend.
"Use Clearance in DRC" into "Use Clearance during DRC"
