Types and Check Contents

Check Contents are described.

Error Check Type: Tear Drop not Existed (PAD)

An error is detected when a Tear Drop is not generated for the PAD of a Net set in "Tear Drop".
Check the route that connects to the PAD, and correct the route such as by changing the route pulling angle.

Tear Drop (SMD)

The existence of tear drop of SMD.

Error Check Type: Tear Drop not Existed (SMD)

Check Clearance of Displayed Objects only

Only the currently displayed area is the target for DRC check.
(* Regardless of this setting, the check items except for "Clearance" will check the whole.)

Maximum No. of Errors

The maximum number of detected errors can be set for when executing Run DRC.
When there are many error items and Run DRC takes a long time, etc., setting a limit makes it easier to confirm.
* Keep in mind that errors over the maximum will not be shown when Run DRC is executed.
