Now to something completly different ... I use Protel 99SE SP6 and i want to create / modify my design rules so that there will be no drc errors if a pad and / or a track is touching the keep out.
Imagine a pad placed inside the pcb-outline and keepout's but the outter diameter of that pad is not inside the keepout as the outer diameter is bigger than the relative distance of the pad to the keepout. the reason is that a have to place pads at the edge of the pcb that there is no gap between the pad / track an the keepout (the outline of the pcb) so the copper will be directly at the end of a pcb side ... yes i know that there should be normaly a gap of about 20-25mil but in this case i realy need the pads and tracks be placed at the edged .. i have tried to setup some design rules like Clearance Rule A: Object Kind (Via; TH-Pad; Tracks/Arcs) B: Object Kind (KeepOuts) Any Net Minimum Clearance 0mil but all i enter in these dialog box still produces DRC erros as if it is in general not allowed to place anything directly with no gap to a keepout. well of course i could ignore these messages, but i prefer a final pcb without any drc error messages. any ideas ?
