Can i make the design rule check blind to a specific layer?

I am incorporating a device (memrsitor) in my layout that is not defined in the kit. I was thinking of representing the device by a layer that is not used in my design. However, this layer will have its own design rules that are different from the ones I want to set for my memristor?

So, I was thinking of using a layer that does not affect affect the DRC tool (the DRC does not show an error no matter where it is placed) or make the tool ignore the design rules for a specific layer and use that layer to represent the memristor. Is that even possible?

Any thoughts on that issue will be appreciated.

    This probably depends on whether you can (or want) to modify the DRC rule deck. If you draw everything on layers the DRC rules know nothing about, you probably don't have to do very much - see your other post Make a copy of the Kit

    Regards,

    Andrew.
