The DRC bot failed my board for violating the 8 mil trace width limit. My traces are all greater than 8 mils and the only thing highlighted in the picture I got in the email is a single pixel vertical line down the right edge of the board:



any ideas? There certainly arent any components or traces over there... The edge of the polygon is there but I tried moving it away and re uploading but it still failed.

Also definitely no errors on the bottom layer.

edit: heres the log for the top layer:

Hmm, looks like a bot bug. Send an email to the batchpcb guys + they probably will clear the design manually.

What are the circles with the really fine lines in the mounting holes (and 2 other holes)? I've never used BatchPCB before, but I bet they don't let you define holes like that. Why didn't you just put these in the drill file with the other holes?

[bmarvo]

They're holes made using the Hole command in eagle. The fine line circle is the dimension layer, just like the fine line around perimeter.

edit: but to avoid future problems Ill likely take that advice

[busonerd]

Those holes are still in the drill file as well - some CAM jobs just add it to the gerber output. They won't cause any problems.
