    The defined rules for DRD are cached (at least from my experiments), so you must make any changes to the tech file before you open layout XL and bring up the DRD Rules form. If you make the changes and then open the layout and bring up the form, you'll see the new rules present - you don't need to use the save or load options to make them visible.

    You can't make them appear by saving a file, editing it, and re-loading - this mechanism is to allow you to enable and disable existing rules, not make them appear or not.

    I saw the same problem you did if I'd previously brought up the DRD forms and then tried to load a file where I'd edited in the new rule combination.

    The best thing is just to update the tech file, and then everything is clean.

    Andrew.
