Hi Pedro,
Thanks again Rachaelp. I am using a very old version but I didn't realise that I just had to run it again. Easy when you know how
Yes it is easy when you know how. It helps that I have been using EAGLE for years for professional work I guess
EDIT - Oh I see now. I was thinking that clicking the Error button in the left hand sidebar (Eagle 6.5.0) actually ran the DRC but now I see that I really have to go to Tools > DRC > Run. That Error button is just showing the results of the last time the DRC was run?
Yes that window is just a results window I believe. I can't remember the specifics of v6 as it's years since I ran that and most of my work has been in v7 onwards.
What I still fail to understand is that if I fix an error, save and close all files and then reopen, when I click the Error button that error will be gone but I have not specifically run the DRC again but just clicked the Error button again. How does that work?[/color][/color]
It's probably just because when you do this the DRC hasn't been run and the list of violations isn't stored as part of the file, only approved errors get stored so they don't show again. So it shows no errors because the DRC hasn't been run. I suspect if you did the same without first fixing the issues it would appear to be the same and then show the errors again once you ran DRC.
What EAGLE license do you have? Are you using the free version or do you have a paid license? It might be worth giving the newer versions a try as the live DRC makes dealing with DRC issues simple because you can see and fix them as you go.
Best Regards,
Rachael
