[PCB_FORUM] Re: nets shorted to Gnd plane

Sam,

Couple of things

-          It is possible to override a DRC with properties, make sure that the 
nets involved don't have the "NO_DRC" property on a pin(s).
-          Make sure there are no "waived DRCs" that are not valid.
-          Run DBDoctor or "Database check" all the time to keep the design in 
sync and up to date
-          Make sure the plane layers in the cross section spread sheet agree 
with the artwork control form (neg or pos)
-          Make sure the padstacks are designed properly with proper Antipads 
and thermals
-          Always include the IPC-D-356 netlist with the Gerber artwork and 
specify that the fab job should stop if the IPC netlist does not agree with the 
artwork.

Have fun and hope this helps.

Dave

Subject: [PCB_FORUM] nets shorted to gnd plane

Group, I sent gerbers out and board house pointed out nets were shorted to 
plane. I ran DRC and I didn't have nets shorted errors, this shouldn't be.
