DRC Errors and Shorts between power stripe and clock nets

 Hi,

 

I have a lot of DRC Errors and Shorts between power stripe and clock nets.  Apparently, the routing of the clock nets simply ignores the power stripes as shown in the picture below:

How should I resolve this error?

     Hi Mooty,

     Is that a metal2 pwr stripe covering an m1 pin? If you are using vertical m2 for power, you are going to have a lot of pin access issues. This picture looks to me like the router had no choice to access the m1 pin, but to short with m2. What do you think?
