Overlap Errors

rasteen

On running the DRC on a manually routed board I get overlap errors on all

signal connections to through hole and SMD pads.  The signal layers look

good to me, do I have a configuration error ? - Ron

    How did you lay out the tracks? With WIRE?

    Did you draw SIGNALs before ROUTEing? The correct way is to

    draw signals first and the use the ROUTE command. If you use

    the WIRE command EAGLE won't connect the WIRE with the SMD.

    So they have different names and DRC will complain about.

    If you are not sure, send me the board file, so i can check it.

  • Yes, I used Wire to route the board. My question now is with the exception

    of failing DRC will there be any difference in the board design than if I

    used the correct method using the SIGNAL command ? It would be a big job to

    reroute the entire board.

     

    Thanks - Ron Steen

    If the layout looks correct it is not a real problem. The

    wire is on the pad and so the copper connection is okay.

    But of course you ought to be very careful not to overlook

    relevant errors.
