Limiting the number of violations that are reported is a key strategy in keeping the checking process manageable. Stop when n violations found – use this field to determine the maximum number of violations that can be detected before the batch DRC process is stopped (default = 500).An invalid multi-layer pad is one whose hole size is zero that would otherwise make it an SMT pad. Report Multilayer Pads with 0 size Hole – enable this option to include any invalid multi-layer pads found in the design.To check for vias under SMD pads, the Vias Under SMD rule (in the High Speed category) must be added to the design and enabled for Batch DRC. This option is only for detecting SMT pads with holes defined in them, which was possible in legacy versions of the software.
