DRC Problem after updating trace width - now won't go away

Justin Loop
Justin Loop over 5 years ago

I have an interesting problem.  I have eight (8) connectors on a PCB. One, for some reason, is giving me problems.  I am getting a DRC problem.  I have NO IDEA why I am getting this problem.  Here is some picture for a better understanding:

I have no idea how to fix this problem.  Please provide a STEP BY STEP resolution to fix this.  All other connectors are just fine.

Thank you.

    Hello,

    It looks like you have a text string ("1") sitting inside of the pad boundary on the Bottom Etch Layer which is causing the DRCs.

    Using Check > Element (Show Element) with only Text enabled in the Find pane and you should find the text string on Etch/Bottom.

    If you do find it than simply delete it to remove the DRCs using similar steps

    1. Edit > Delete
    2. Enable only Text under the Find pane
    3. Select the text string "1"
    4. RMB > Done

    Hope this helps,
    Mike Catrambone

    mcatramb91, you are a rock star. Thank you.  All is good. Sorry I was unable to get back to your earlier. I have been working on other projects. This worked.
