DesignRules(Distance tab).
Settingthevalue Copper/Dimension to 0 deactivatesthischeck.
In this case polygons do not keep a minimum distance to objects in lay
-
er 20, Dimension, and holes! The DRC will not check if holes are placed
ontracks!
DrillDistance:
Distance violation between holes. Defined by the value Drill/Hole in
theDesignRules(Distance tab).
DrillSize:
Drill diameter violation in pads, vias, and holes. This value is defined in
the Design Rules (Minimum Drill, Sizes tab). It is also possible to define
aspecialvalue(Drills)forviasinagivennetclass(CLASScommand).
Keepout:
Restricted areas for components drawn in layer 39, tKeepout, or 40,
bKeepout, lie one upon another. This ceck is made only if layers 39 and
40aredisplayed.
LayerAbuse:
Layer 17, Pads, or 18, Vias, contains objects which can't be determined
by EAGLE. Those layers are exclusively dedicated to pads and vias. Bet

LayerSetup:
This error is shown if an object in a layer is found that is not defined by
the Layer setup is found. The same for vias that do not follow the set
-
tings of the Layer setup, for example, if a via has an illegal length
(blind/buriedvias).
MicroViaSize:
The drill diameter of the micro via is smaller than the value given in the
Sizes tab.
No vectorfont:
The font check (Design Rules, Misc tab) recognizes text in a signal layer
whichisnotwritteninEAGLE'sinternalvectorfont.
If you want to generate manufacturing data with the help of the CAM
Processor the texts, at least in the signal layers, ought to be written in
vector font. This is the only font the CAM Processor can work with.
Otherwise the board will not look the same as it is shown. Change the
font with the help of the command CHANGE FONT or use the option
Alwaysvectorfont intheLayoutEditor's Options/UserInterface menu:
If activated, the Layout Editor shows all texts in vector font. This is the
waythemanufacturedboardwilllooklike.
Activating the sub-option Persistent in this drawing saves the setting in
the drawing file. If you send the layout file, for example, to the board
-
house you can be sure that the vector font will be displayed also at his
system.
