DRC Error Message with Text in Copper

autodeskguest

Hello!

 

Please see the attached file.

 

Using 4.16software version. A two layer board. Two lines of text are written

in the polygon labeled GND on each side, giving 4 error messages.

 

The rectangle around the LM1086 voltage regulator is a continuous wire, one

on each side of the board. The pour copper inside (and on each side of the

board) is acting as a heatsink.

 

As soon as I put text within this rectangle, I get the error message "DRC

Errors" related to the width.

 

What am I doing wrong. What parameter controls this.

 

Thank you for your help.

 

Regards,

 

RJ

  • Helllo John!

     

    You put me on the right track. Thank you. The minimum parameter are Size:

    .05 and Radio: 20% (see attachment).

     

    This is not looking nice thought. Is there a way to find out if it would

    come out good from the fab, despite the error message, with a smaller size

    and ratio? Is there a tool to verify / simulate the file gerb 274x (the

    format requested by my provider)?

     

    Thanks again for your help.

     

    Regards,

    Could be the line width used by the text being smaller than the minimum

    trace width specified.

    You can increase the line width of the text using the "ratio" change

    command.
