Title: Eagle. Is it possible to disable the DRC rule, which generates via-in-pad error?
Colleagues,
I’d like to make a board where some of the vias are on SMT pads. I’m aware of the potential assembly problems, which via-in-pad might cause. My circuit will be hand assembled.
When I try to make via-in-pad, Eagle generates a pop-up message “can’t set via to layer 1”, or draws a big yellow X on the layout.
I'm aware of one workaround for this. A via can be drawn next to the pad and dragged to the pad afterwards. But, doing this for lots of pads would be a PITA.
Is it possible to suppress this error in Eagle layout
Any suggestion, insight or reference is really appreciated!
I'm not new to PCB layout, but I'm new to Eagle. Running 6.2.0 (free).
Cheers,
- Nick
