How to avoid many DRC width errors when panelizing ?
« on: September 26, 2015, 09:38:45 am »
Dear All,

I am trying to cramp as much design I can in a 100mmx100mm PCB  to reduce costs.
I have properly made  each  design with no  DRC errors,
and then used the panelized ulp procedure to made the designs adequate for panelizing.

But when I import several on them in my 100mmx100mm  new board design,
I got a huge amount of width errors, whatever the option I take.

Can you help ?

Thanks

You'll get more and better help if you post your questions in the official Cadsoft Eagle forum: http://www.element14.com/community/community/cadsoft_eagle/forums/

What are the DRC errors? there can be quite a few...

Common ones are net names, being the same, or part names being the same.
otherwise it may have something to do with the DRC rule setup not being correct.

Net names and stuff like that are ERC errors, not DRC....

OP said width errors - I guess that he failed to load the .dru file for the panelized board. The default dru have much larger min-widths than the common cheap fab houses.

I had not much help from the Eagle forum.

There is something I  still do not understand. The error are width errors.

I have set up each individual circuit board with a given .dru that gathered my setups.
I had then no errors.
Then I gathered several circuit in a single board with the same .dru file for the DRC setting.
Each time I added a  circuit, I verified  the DRC. I had no errors, except on one
where I had dozens of  width errors.

I did not understand, and
I finally send the  gerber files despite these errors.
