Eagle only runs DRC once?

e14 Contributor

Hello,

  When I open my board and run a DRC for the first time, everything works

great, I get some errors that I need to address, etc. However, when I fix

those errors, then click the DRC button again, nothing changes. I have to

close the board, then re-open it to be able to repeat the process.

 

Nothing I've found online or in the manual suggests that this should be the

case. I should be able to just click the button when I'm ready to run

again. Does anyone know what might be happening? I'm running Eagle 5.11 on

Windows 7.

  • try "drc;Assign... pick a hotkey, and use the string 'drc; errors'. Now

    I can tweak the board a little, hit the hotkey, see if I fixed it, hit

    escape, tweak, and repeat. Thanks all for the help.

    Ah, interesting, so I was just typing drc and that brought up the drc

    dialog. But if I add the semicolon, that actually just runs the check

    without bringing anything up. If I add 'errors' to the command, I get

    what I was after.

     

    So, Options->Assign... pick a hotkey, and use the string 'drc;

    errors'. Now I can tweak the board a little, hit the hotkey, see if I

    fixed it, hit escape, tweak, and repeat. Thanks all for the help.

     

     

    Great to hear you have made progress.

    What version are you running? With v5.11.2 I only need to enter DRC; to run

    the check and have the error list displayed. The additional 'errors' command

    is not needed.

    I am using v5.11.0. I cannot find 5.11.2 in the download area anywhere. I

    am looking in

     

    ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/eagle/program/5.11

     

    If I look in the betatest area, I see only 5.91, which I figured is the 6.0

    beta release.

    Good point. I have posted a request for a link to access it.

    That said, the history notes don't mention a change/fix in the DRC area.

    I tried it with v5.11 and for me drc; runs the check and presents the

    error

    listing.

     

     

    Yes, I somehow got it into a state where drc; was only running the checks

    and not showing a dialog. This happened twice yesterday, but I cannot

    reproduce it today, so I'm just going to write it off as a fluke. Anyway,

    I'm very happy now with drc; it's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks

    also for requesting the 5.11.2 beta to be back up, I see that it's there

    now in the betatest area.
