KiCad comes with a large library of high quality, user contributed symbols and footprints, but it is also simple to create new symbols and footprints pins, two power outputs shorted together, or a power input that isn’t powered by anything. It also checks for some other mistakes like symbols that aren’t annotated and typos in net labels. To see the full Inspect → Design Rules Checker, or use the button in the top toolbar. Click Run DRC. When the checks are complete, no errors or warnings should be reported. Close the DRC window. 32 Now intentionally

layout, 3D rendering, and plotting/data export to numerous formats. KiCad also includes a high-quality component library featuring thousands of symbols, footprints, and 3D models. KiCad has minimal system double- clicking on a search result opens the item’s Properties dialog. Many new and improved DRC checks and features, including mechanical clearance rules (as opposed to electrical clearance), custom severities, custom constraints for pad-to-zone connections, and footprint board-vs.-library consistency checks. Improved initial footprint placement, and a new "Pack and Move Footprints" tool that enables convenient

design rules using the custom rules language. Custom rules are used to create specific design rule checks that are not covered by the basic constraints or net class settings. Custom rules will only be defined, or the board outline is invalid, some functions such as the 3D viewer and some design rule checks will not be functional. Dimensions Dimensions are graphical objects used to show a measurement Constraint type Argument type Description annular_width min/opt/max Checks the width of annular rings on vias. clearance min Checks the clearance between copper objects of different nets.

Electrical Rules Check The Electrical Rules Check (ERC) tool checks for certain errors in your schematic, such as unconnected pins, unconnected hierarchical symbols issues and oversights. All detected issues should be checked and addressed before proceeding. The quality of the ERC is directly related to the care taken in declaring electrical pin properties during symbol cycle through the choices: allowed, warning, error. 70 List of ERC checks The table below lists the electrical rules that KiCad checks and the default violation severity for each check.
