Thanks for the ultra-quick response Michael.
Well in my case with a limited test, two components (one with the vias in
pad), it did not seem to work. Seeing your response I tried some further
testing and found the following.
Test 1.
a) You're right. However the DRC does not immediately clear although
online DRC is ON.
b) Tried a couple more operations, routing traces, moving components,
etc., DRC was still highlighted.
c) Ran DRC manually, violation highlights were removed.
Test 2.
a) If I unlock & then relock the component primitives, even without any
other intermediary action, the DRC highlight is turned off.
Seems online DRC does not respond to some operations in real-time.
Not a good situation, sure screwed me up for a while and temporarily blew my
confidence in understanding what I thought was pretty clear.
