Default design rules

Former Member

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?

    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.
