### Examples
|
|
|
|
(rule HV
|
|
(constraint clearance (min 1.5mm))
|
|
(condition "A.NetClass == 'HV'"))
|
|
|
|
|
|
(rule HV
|
|
(layer outer)
|
|
(constraint clearance (min 1.5mm))
|
|
(condition "A.NetClass == 'HV'"))
|
|
|
|
|
|
(rule HV_HV
|
|
# wider clearance between HV tracks
|
|
(constraint clearance (min "1.5mm + 2.0mm"))
|
|
(condition "A.NetClass == 'HV' && B.NetClass == 'HV'"))
|
|
|
|
|
|
(rule HV_unshielded
|
|
(constraint clearance (min 2mm))
|
|
(condition "A.NetClass == 'HV' && !A.insideArea('Shield*')"))

|
|
### Notes
|
|
|
|
Version clause must be the first clause.
|
|
|
|
Rules should be ordered by specificity. Later rules take
|
|
precedence over earlier rules; once a matching rule is found
|
|
no further rules will be checked.
|
|
|
|

### Expression functions
|
|
|
|
All function parameters support simple wildcards (`*` and `?`).
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
|
|
A.insideCourtyard('<footprint_refdes>')
|
|
True if any part of `A` lies within the given footprint's principal courtyard.
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
|
|
A.insideFrontCourtyard('<footprint_refdes>')
|
|
True if any part of `A` lies within the given footprint's front courtyard.
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
|
|
A.insideBackCourtyard('<footprint_refdes>')
|
|
True if any part of `A` lies within the given footprint's back courtyard.
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
|
|
A.insideArea('<zone_name>')
|
|
True if any part of `A` lies within the given zone's outline.
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
|
|
A.isPlated()
|
|
True if `A` has a hole which is plated.
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
|
|
A.inDiffPair('<net_name>')
|
|
True if `A` has net that is part of the specified differential pair.
|
|
`<net_name>` is the base name of the differential pair. For example, `inDiffPair('CLK')`
|
|
matches items in the `CLK_P` and `CLK_N` nets.
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
|
|
AB.isCoupledDiffPair()
|
|
True if `A` and `B` are members of the same diff pair.
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
|
|
A.memberOf('<group_name>')
|
|
True if `A` is a member of the given group. Includes nested membership.
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
|
|
A.existsOnLayer('<layer_name>')
|
|
True if `A` exists on the given layer. The layer name can be
|
|
either the name assigned in Board Setup > Board Editor Layers or
|
|
the canonical name (ie: `F.Cu`).
|
|
|
|
NB: this returns true if `A` is on the given layer, independently
|
|
of whether or not the rule is being evaluated for that layer.
|
|
For the latter use a `(layer "layer_name")` clause in the rule.
