>Please tell us more about auto-DRC, Harry. In the settings menu, check "auto enforce DRC clearance". You must have a netlist and rats on the layout, otherwise you won't be able to make any connections. When you start a new line, everything already connected or belonging to the net is "found" (highlighted green), and the crosshair follows the mouse only so far as the prospective line doesn't violate the current DRC clearance minimum; this means you can't approach other nets too closely, but you can route to, and across copper on the same net. It ignores polygons on the drawing layer (which is to say it assumes you'll draw lines that clear polygons if there are such planes). That's about it. It's only in the CVS version at the moment.
Cheers, harry
