Have you encountered hanging wires and overlaps with Capture wires and want to be able to find these quickly? With version 16.6, you can easily find these errors throughout your design using the custom DRCs.

With custom DRC’s, you can also check other errors like shorted discretes. These custom DRC’s are TCL code that can be modified to make your own customizable DRC’s.
