Board oultine clearance

I am working with ultiboard 10.1 since yesterday and having some trouble with the Board outline clearence. When I route a trace through the clearance I expect to get a designs rule error, but I only get an error when I route a trace right through

the board outline. See example image. How can I get a design rule error when I break the clearence rule?

Hi Systec,

 

If you change the action on design rules (Options>>Global Preferences>>PCB Design) to 'ask for confirmation', you will see that you will get an error message. But I will check why you don't see a message in the DRC window.

This is a difficult way to work, if a pop-up window is asking to confirm all the time. But I turned the option on and set it back to 'overrule' and now the designs rule errors are some how activated and displayed correctlly!

If we have to do this each time we start a new design, there is a chance to forget it. This can slip in to production and traces will fall from the edge.

Hi Systec,

 

The problem is reported as a bug. R&D will work on this.
For now, I don't have a workaround, we have to wait for a new release.
