Don't understand EagleCAD's cryptic "Width" error on my new part

Former Member

Hi,

 

I created a new part and use it on my *.brd.  I run a check an EagleCAD

reports "Width" with not much explanation.  Please see the attached

image.  Thanks for any tips.

    I am using EagleCAD version 5.7.0 on MAC OS, by the way.

    There is a setting in the DRC. You likely have it set to a WIDTH that is

    larger than the width of the pads of your package.

    Check DRC/Sizes/Minimum Width

    If that value is greater than the width of your pads then you will get a

    those WIDTH errors when you run the DRC check.
