Hello All,
I have two (2) position jumpers with a rectangular silkscreen drawn around
them. I want to place them on my PCB such that one side of the silkscreen
overlap. I created a component jumper class and added these two jumpers.
In the design rules under Placement, Component Clearance Constraint I set up
a rule for the jumper class to have a gap of 0 mil with scope A and B both
set to the jumper class. I did this thinking that it would allow me to
place the jumper side by side with the silkscreen s on one side overlapping
while not affecting other components. I also left the default Component
Clearance rule in place - 10 mil gap with scope A and B set to board.
When I attempt this I get a violation as soon a s the silkscreen over lap.
If I un-check the On-line Component Clearance check box (under Design Rule
Check), I stop getting the violations. How ever, if click on the Run DRC
button, I still get a violation. Of coarse this also goes away when I
un-check the Report Component Clearance check box also under Design Rule
Check.
What am I doing wrong? Any information that you can give will be greatly
appreciated. Thank you for your time and have a nice day.
