• Zone based short checking - drc_zone_clr by Tibor 'Igor2' Palinkas on 2020-05-18
  On some complext boards a single global value for copper-copper gap between different networks is not sufficient, but the board has "zones": different regions where different rules apply. A typical example is when the power supply section of the board has larger gaps for high voltage reasons while the rest of the board should be routed tightly with low voltage signals. This article describes how to implement the DRC checks differently per region: with custom doc layers, polygons and a simple drc_query script.
   
• Courtyard: ko.* layer groups: under the hood - ko_id2 by Tibor 'Igor2' Palinkas on 2020-04-27
  The "courtyard" (ko.courtyard) feature is fully working mechanical keepout/courtyard with DRC checks provided by the default drc_query config. This node describes how the drc rule is implemented.
   
• Index: scripting pcb-rnd - Iscript by Tibor 'Igor2' Palinkas on 2019-05-19
  Enumerate various ways pcb-rnd can be scripted, allowing the user to extend the functionality of pcb-rnd or automate repetitive tasks or integrated pcb-rnd as a converter/generator in a toolchain or build system.
