I considered this briefly, but dismissed it with the thought that is a fairly abusive model of the component. We don't usually, model inductors on the board as short-circuits, even if a crude ohm-meter might view them as such when they are placed. > The DRC could be told to treat certain layers in a group as component > copper. I would like to move away from layer groups, as it is a non-physical way of considering the board, and a nightmare from a rendering / DRC point of view. Semantic tagging of objects within a layer is IMO the way forward. We could still provide distinct colouring if that was useful to people. -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!)
