Configuring design rules Design rules control the behavior of the interactive router, the filling of copper zones, and the design rule checker. Design rules can be modified at any time, but but we recommend that you establish all known design rules at the beginning of the board design process.

Note: Lines are graphical objects and are not the same as tracks placed with the to be inherited from any clearance override set on the footprint, or the board’s design rules and netclass rules if the footprint clearance is also set to 0 . Solder mask clearance controls the size used to assign a specific name to a zone. This name can be used to refer to the zone in custom DRC rules. Zone priority level determines the order in which multiple zones on a single layer are filled. The
