I want to set some rules in the "Hole Size Constraint" to specify the drill bits available from APCircuit. I've set the following constraint :
Name Scope Min Max Drill 42mil Board 42mil 42mil Drill 28mil Board 28mil 28mil Drill 35mil Board 35mil 35mil When I run the DRC, I get the following rule violations: Processing Rule : Hole Size Constraint (Min=42mil) (Max=42mil) (On the board ) Violation Pad J1-25(49796mil,53700mil) MultiLayer Actual Hole Size = 35mil Violation Pad J1-24(49905mil,53700mil) MultiLayer Actual Hole Size = 35mil Violation Pad J1-23(50014mil,53700mil) MultiLayer Actual Hole Size = 35mil Violation Pad J1-22(50123mil,53700mil) MultiLayer Actual Hole Size = 35mil ... Violation Via (52895mil,51705mil) TopLayer to BottomLayer Actual Hole Size = 28mil Violation Via (53060mil,52280mil) TopLayer to BottomLayer Actual Hole Size = 28mil Violation Via (50621mil,53040mil) TopLayer to BottomLayer Actual Hole Size = 28mil Violation Via (50698mil,53040mil) TopLayer to BottomLayer Actual Hole Size = 28mil ... Processing Rule : Hole Size Constraint (Min=35mil) (Max=35mil) (On the board ) Rule Violations :0 Processing Rule : Hole Size Constraint (Min=28mil) (Max=28mil) (On the board ) Rule Violations :0 Depending on the order that I entered my constraint, Protel change the violation (ex : Violation on the 35mil hole size constraint for all holes set to 28mil). Could you tell me if this issue has already been addressed on the forum. If not, I would like to know if someone already did this and how. I know that I can use the "Hole Size Editor" to check this by hand, but I would like to be able to use the DRC to check that. Isn't the DRC job to check for manufacturing errors??
