By checking exactly the object you are currently trying to place against the traces in vicinity,Actually, I don't think that's true: Suppose I have a trace whose clearance is set to 2.5mm - if I lay any component too close while the real-time DRC is running, how can it know that it's breaking a rule without re-checking the clearance for every object on the PCB?
that can be found by bounding-box intersection. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
