Just to make sure I'm understanding this correctly, I can place a via or trace inside the text bounding box and the DRC will *not* complain unless the via or trace clearance from the actual text is violated. I do this often because my designs are very small and I typically need every last bit of area I can get so using the bounding box would be detrimental in my use case. Of course I could always ignore the DRC but I would rather the DRC give the proper checks I need. > > Currently, the drc test calculation is not optimized, so it needs > refinements > (mainly avoid to test the full text shape, when tracks or pads are > outside the text bounding box) > > However the calculation time is low ( < 1 second), even with complex and > large boards. > _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
