I couldn't remove them all, only half of them, because it turned out the situation was worse than I remembered: some values didn't control only the old DRC but some other random, sometimes unrelated parts of the code! Yay for inherited code! So this is what we have now: - I've figured the old set size mechanism for drilled holes still used the old DRC settin for min_drill to override user's decision about the hole size; I've removed that restriction (this is the no-nanny policy; the property editor and padstack editor already allowed the user to set any hole size, and it's the DRC's job at the end to warn the user if the hole is too small) - I've removed half of the old drc settings from the preferences dialog because nothing depends on them anymore - I've renamed the rest to 'limiting values', that was the closest term I found for the way the remaining use cases - the remaining use cases are documented in the updated conf doc: http://repo.hu/projects/pcb-rnd/conf/tree/design.html ; the affected conf nodes are bloat, shrink, min_wid, min_slk, min_drill and min_ring. <snip> >The "show/enforce DRC clearance" features will be renamed and changed to >"show/enforce style celarance". I think this is the major change. It makes >more sense with DRC replaced with the routing style: This is done too: - the show/enforce clearance feature uses the current pen clearance (which is normally the clearance coming from the current route style) - the menus have been renamed to indicate the connection to style instead of DRC If you are using the show and/or enforce clearance feature, please double check whether they work as expected and report anything that looks like a bug around them.
