Detailed Description

This class allows the access to the design rule checker. For each rule available in the graphical user interface, there is a corresponding method in this class. Please see Design Rule Checker documentation for a more detailed description of the checks. Also the reporting of violations and the drc region can be setup by using this class.

For a complete DRC a plenty of rules are required. For a complete DRC in one step please create a macro with all your rules. There you can also give each rule an individual name. This macro gives an example. It is also included in the example macros.
