Understanding DRC Rules
Clearance, width, annular ring and hole rules must reflect the fabricator capability, not the tool default.
Minimum values
Match the fab minimums; over-spec only where needed.
Copper to edge
Keep copper off the rout and V-score lines.
Custom rules
Add net-class rules for power and impedance.
