Shut off "auto-enforce DRC clearance".

Next time, start the trace on the pad and work towards the other
copper, or make sure you have a loaded netlist and have used the 'o'
option to set up the rats.

Also, don't end refdes's with lower case letters - they're reserved
for gates within devices.  End with upper case or a digit; the lower
case letters are simply ignored.
