Creepage DRC calculates false path between overlapping circles in Edge.Cuts
I'd known about this for a while, but I thought that #24524 (closed), today's #24875 (closed) or other related creepage fixes would fix this, too. Unfortunately, they didn't. It's unlikely to occur in an actual PCB design, but I'm reporting it in case there is some deeper underlying problem.
This time I'm attaching two similar test projects, because the bug behaves differently in them:
- In the first one, it calculates two creepage paths, one correct and the other incorrect. Important! Notice the incorrect path also starts at the pad's hole instead of its copper!
- In the second one, DRC shows only one incorrect path.
Steps to reproduce
-
Open PCBs from test projects:
-
Run DRC.
-
Observe the results I explained above.
