I have a board with dozens of the following errors reported by DRC:
The object "Trace width (nn.nnn mil) Layer (Copper Bottom) Clearance (n.nnnn mil) Net (3P3V)" is on a layer not allowed by the net settings
and
The object "Trace width (nn.nnn mil) Layer (Copper Bottom) Clearance (n.nnnn mil) Net (GND)" is on a layer not allowed by the net settings
It is a two layer board. Is the program trying to tell me I can't route power and ground on the bottim layer? That would be insane!
Cab anyone explain this? I have found nothing in the documentation.
What are the "net settings" and where can they be found? How can they be changed?

Hi Phil,
The Net Settings can be changed in the spreadsheet view or under Tools>Netlist Editor
The error doesn't mean you can't route power and ground on the top and bottom layer.
Please check the Routing Layers and Trace Width columns in the spreadsheet view under the Nets tab to make sure the traces you routed are complying with the defined settings.
