Appendix C - DRC Check

When SmartDesign components are generated, the tool automatically enforces DRCs. The component is generated if the check passes.

Alternatively, to invoke DRC checks without generating the component, click the DRC check icon ???in the toolbar.

To view the results of the DRC check, from the Design menu, choose Reports. The Report is named <Design component>_DRC_xml in the Reports tab. DRC errors are also reported in the Log/Message window.

Click the links on the DRC report. SmartDesign zooms in and highlights the design object that is the subject of the DRC violation.

You must correct all DRC errors before you can generate the SmartDesign component and continue with the design flow.
