Multi Layer Checks

Enclosure

It is checked, whether the first layer overlaps over the second layer more than the entered distance. The only area above the contact line is respected in this check.

Inside

All the area of one layer must be inside other specified layers. You can specify up to 3 layers. Also, a space around the inside layer can be checked. An exact, a minimum inside and a maximum inside can be checked.

LayerCombination

It is checked, whether there are regions on all chosen layers. If so, they are marked as a violation. Up to five layers can be checked.

MinimumDistance

It is checked, whether two layers have a distance less than an entered value. The value and the two layers are entered in a dialog. The location of the lowest distance will be marked. Alternatively it can be checked, if any shape on layer1 has a shape on layer2 next to it which not more than the given distance away. The other way round is not checked. (layer2 has a layer1 next to it)

MinimumDistanceOrOverlap

Two layers with a distance less than an entered value are marked as a violation. If shapes are overlapping, it is not marked as an error. It is adjustable, whether violation away from the overlap (in the example on the left) should be marked as an error.

MinimumOverlap

Shapes of two entered layers must have at last a minimum overlap of an entered value. Shapes with a lower overlap are marked as a violation. The location of the violation is marked.

OverlapDistance

It is checked, whether overlapping areas of the two entered layers have a minimum distance. Shapes violating this rule are marked.

WidthDependentDistance

Checks for a minimum spacing, if the width of surrounding shapes extends a defined value. Please see the example in which cases violations are listed.
