PTH/NPTH Drill to Copper feature spacing issue

Prapz

Hi ,

 I am facing an issue in Drill to copper feature spacing.Due to my manufacturer requirment I need to have a minmum of 13.78 Mils spacing for any Drill(PTH/NPTH) to any other copper feature.I have set drill to all others as 13.78.But still afterupdating DRC I am not getting the error in PCB .The above situation is shown in the image attached.

 

Kindly let me know how to resolve the issue .

     Check to make sure that the Hole To checks are enabled (they aren't by default becuase normally Pad to checks would be sufficent. Look at Setup - Constraints - Modes - Spacing Modes and make sure that ALL the Holt To DRC's are checked.

    We have enabled all Spacing modes including Hole to all features.Even then we are facing the same issue.

     Sorry my mistake - the Hole to checks will only come into effect if the holes have no pads (or a pad smaller than the hole). The Pad to rules will win. This normally happens when you use the unused pad suppression option or have a non-plated mechanical hole.

    If this is part of a footprint, seems like a circular polygon on the RouteKeepout class would permanently solve the problem.

     (still trying to figure out what the footprints I use from Samtec do to solve the problem.)

     The issue is mainly with Vias.
