Another thing to prevent mistake is to have a builtin list of common

This is part of the reason for the vendor resource file support in pcb. It lets you define vendor capability in a single file which can be loaded in. It should be a simple task for you to capture the requirements of your particular vendor in that file.


Where are they documented? I would like to learn something about them.
When I read the PCB documentation last time I don't remember hitting

It was added to the manual and the code with the 20050127 snapshot.
