Hi all,
I did put a piece of text in copper on the bottom layer,
but I can't change the width of the copper. DRC gives me
an error because the width is to small. Any idea's?

Check if it is written with vector font and change the
text's width with CHANGE RATIO.
Ratio is defined by text width to text height.

Ratio is defined by text width to text height.
And what are good/valid numbers? I changed the ratio to 15%, but still
getting DRC errors.

Hello Jesse,
It depends on what you have set as the minimum width in the DRC check
and the size of the text: Ratio is defined by text width to text height.
I use 1.778mm (0.07")text and a 16% ratio with the (standard) 10mil
minimum width.
The important thing is to set the minimum width in the DRC so that your
boardhouse will accept the gerbers; the standard should be fine. After
that put your text in the desired height and just keep increasing the
ratio until the DRC accepts it. If your text gets unreadable you should
use a larger size. In your next board just use the same settings.
