Differentiate drcs: Symbol Vs Design

SambaKantipudi
SambaKantipudi 4 months ago

Hello All,

I have symbols in my library that were intentionally created to violate DRC rules.

After logic import, they are transferred to the layout editor, along with their DRCs.

The command axlDBGetDesign()->drcs gives me all the DRCs in the design.

Which SKILL commands or functions can differentiate between Symbol DRCs and Design DRCs?

Thank you very much in advance.

BR

    Can you give an example of a "Design DRC"?

    Hello Elecguy ,

    Before logic import, I see the following DRCs in my design:

    • Copper Features: Void Slivers

    • Copper Spacing: Non-signal shape to Non-signal shape

    • Shape to Shape Spacing

    After logic import, I get the following DRCs:

    • Pin Drill Hole to Pin Spacing

    • Pin Drill Hole to Shape Spacing

    • Thru-Pin to Shape Spacing

    • Thru-Pin to Thru-Pin Spacing

    • Thru-Pin to Route Keepout Spacing

    As mentioned earlier, some symbols were intentionally created to violate DRC rules. My goal is to waive the DRCs that are part of the symbol(s).

    Thanks

    BR
