How do I set the pcb-lesstif's min-silk DRC parameter

Nov 09, 2015 1 Replies

I got loads of errors for the 0805 smd resistors coz the silk lines are too thin. What I've tried: in .pcb/settings min-silk = 1.00 mil



in a local pcb.settings min-silk = 6.00 mil



..saved earlier, that line uncommented and changed to 6.00 mil from the 10.00 mil before...


in a bash script: #modify to taste pcb-lesstif ./tmp_pwm_p.pcb --lib-newlib ./pkg:/usr/share/pcb/newlib:/usr/share/pcb/pcblib-newlib --min-silk 5



(I also tried 5mil... no '=' )



DRC sez: Rules are minspace 0.2500 mm, minoverlap 0.2500 mm minwidth 0.2500 mm, minsilk 0.2500 mm min drill 0.3800 mm, min annular ring 0.2500 mm .... in all cases... does it matter that the grid is set to display in mm? The settings file was exported with those settings earlier and the (commented out) dimensions are all in mil.. thus I think it does not...



Nevermind... it's saved in the .pcb file DRC[...] hand editing the _fourth_ value does the trick...
