Hi Peter,
I've looked in my ~/.pcb/preferences, and there are no DRC values there
at all. I wonder what would happen if I added some...
So I could do with knowing what all the DRC parameters are called; are
they defined anywhere?
Regards
Matt

Be aware that some preferences are saved between PCB runs
(but a quick check suggests these DRC clearances are not
updated in the file, so should persist once you edit the
file).<br>
<br>
</div>
If you create a new design with the old gsch2pcb flow, the
defaults it starts with come from a hard-coded template PCB
file in the netlister back-end, but as you specifically said
"new instance of pcb", I assume you're actually just starting
a fresh copy of pcb with no design loaded. (And perhaps using
the import schematics functionality to create your new
design?)<br>

There is nothing I can do to make pcb remember any kind of

Please can anyone tell me what settings/config file to
