Public bug reported: Feedback from John Bass: It would also be useful, if DRC automatically produced a text file with the error type, layer number, and the X/Y location pair of the DRC span that produced the failure ... and for error free scans, removed any such file from previous runs. Peter Clifton's comment: Whether the implementation relies of a file or not, what is really being asked for here is the ability to deliberately ignore a DRC violation (or hide the results) between subsequent runs. Arguably, this is a symptom that our DRC rules are not flexible enough in their definition - or that we should allow localised or class based customisation of the DRC rules. On the other hand.. the designer may violate some rules at some point during a design, and may wish to ignore that for a while whist she focuses on other issues. ** Affects: pcb Importance: Wishlist Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of PCB Bug Team, which is subscribed to pcb. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/710666 Title: Feature to hide peviously acknowledged DRC violations Status in PCB: Printed Circuit Board CAD package: New Bug description: Feedback from John Bass: It would also be useful, if DRC automatically produced a text file with the error type, layer number, and the X/Y location pair of the DRC span that produced the failure ... and for error free scans, removed any such file from previous runs.
