As I understand it. To display on the fly there must be some function calcu=
lating clearance value on the fly. There is no such function now and DRC is=
 run afterwards.
 
Are a little bit uncertain why there need to be specific distance between d=
ifferent types of features, for me it make sense to set distance between ne=
ts except possible in some special cases.
 
 
Adding a note to avoid confusion. In high voltage circuit clearance is meas=
ured thru air while creepage is measured on circuit board.
