PCB Layout CAD : DRC/MRC Settings

Net Class

It is possible to define the Net Class where a Net combination is set.
You can divide settings (Clearance and Route Width, etc.) for each Net Class, which is convenient when the primary circuit and secondary circuit are divided.

There is also a method for setting the Net Class while selecting an Electric Object from the design drawing.
For more details, refer to Registering a Net Class from the Design Drawing.

For more details about opening the DRC/MRC Settings screen, refer to About DRC/MRC Settings.

Net objects (Routes, Planes, Vias, Pads, etc.) that do not have a Net Name specified are included in "DefaultClass".
