How to allow DRCs to the surrounding objects using Etch Back option

PCBTech
PCBTech over 1 year ago

Starting from SPB23.1, a new option, Allow DRCs to surrounding metal, has been added in the Etch-Back form to allow DRCs to the surrounding objects. form to allow DRCs to the surrounding objects.

The Allow DRCs to surrounding metal option lets you see and adjust objects instead of the current behavior, which sacrifices the width of the mask for the trace.

  • When this option is turned off, it maintains the EB mask to another object clearance.
  • When this option is enabled, it keeps the EB mask to the EM trace edge clearance and shows a DRC if the EB mask to another object spacing is out of rule.
