Default design rules

Former Member over 13 years ago

I have got a design rule file from my board man.

Would like to make this my default dru file but cant find where to tell

Eagle to use that file.

It always loads the default.dru file.

Any idea's?

Hmmm... I didn't see a way to set this. Have you considered overwriting
default.dru with that from your board man?

Simple. Copy your man's DRU file into the DRU folder.
Load your board file, click the DRC icon. Under the "File" tab click
"Load..." . You should see your new DRC file available for selection.

Good point. I hadn't thought of that. You may also want to add an
entry into your Design Rules path. From the control panel, selet
Options->Directories. You can add something in front of $EAGLEDIR/dru.
The path element separator on Windows systems is a semicolon; on other
systems it's a colon. Then drop your new DRU file into the new
directory element.

I did this with the eurocircuits DRU by renaming the default to .bak and
renaming the eurocircuits one I want to default.dru
It seems to work ok and loads up each time I start.
