Design Rules Check (DRC) setup in PCB Design - Dashboard Guide

Dashboard Mode - Design Rules Check (DRC) setup

Goal

Check if the PCB design follows all manufacturing rules to avoid errors before production.

Sample Data

Rule Name	Minimum Clearance (mm)	Minimum Trace Width (mm)	Maximum Via Size (mm)	Status
Clearance	0.2	0.15	0.6	Pass
Trace Width	0.2	0.15	0.6	Pass
Via Size	0.2	0.15	0.6	Fail
Annular Ring	0.15	0.15	0.6	Pass
Component Spacing	0.25	0.15	0.6	Pass
Silkscreen Clearance	0.1	0.15	0.6	Pass

Dashboard Components

• KPI Card: Total Rules Checked = 6
• KPI Card: Rules Passed = 5
• KPI Card: Rules Failed = 1
• Bar Chart: Count of Pass vs Fail Rules
  Formula: Count of rows grouped by Status
• Table: Detailed Rules Status
  Shows all columns from sample data

Dashboard Layout

+-----------------------------+
| Total Rules | Passed | Failed |
|   (KPI)    | (KPI)  | (KPI)  |
+-----------------------------+
|        Bar Chart: Pass vs Fail       |
+-------------------------------------+
|         Detailed Rules Table         |
+-------------------------------------+

Interactivity

Filter by Status (Pass/Fail) updates the Bar Chart and Detailed Rules Table to show only selected rules. KPI cards update counts accordingly.

Self Check

If you filter to show only 'Fail' rules, which components update?

• Bar Chart shows only Fail count
• Detailed Rules Table shows only failed rules
• KPI Cards update to show total rules checked and failed rules count accordingly

Key Result

Dashboard shows PCB design rules check status with KPIs, pass/fail chart, and detailed rule table.
