Design Rule Checker (DRC)

Automated verification system that ensures PCB designs comply with manufacturing and electrical requirements.

Automated system for verifying project compliance with manufacturing standards and constraints.

Design Rule Checker (DRC)

Purpose:
  • Automatic verification of layout against design rules
  • Ensure manufacturability and reliability of the board

    • Capabilities and Features:
  • Check minimum clearances between conductors
  • Control minimum width of traces and polygons
  • Detect unrouted connections
  • Verify constraints for high-speed signals
  • Visualize violations with detailed problem descriptions
    • Connections with Other Sections:
  • Closely interacts with PCB Editor
  • Integrates with Constraint Manager to obtain rules
  • Connected with Manufacturing Integration for manufacturability verification
