What version of PCB are you using (and from where?)
Is it possible that you've got something quite old?
I'm not sure where the fields are documented (aside from the code).

<div>Hi Peter,<br>
<br>
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... <br>
<br>
So I could do with knowing what all the DRC parameters are called;
are they defined anywhere?<br>

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 jus=
t 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
DRC settings from project to project. What you tell me
should work, doesn't.<br>
<br>
Please can anyone tell me what settings/config file to
create or edit, so that every time I open a new instance of
pcb, the DRC settings are just there? Or doesn't it work
that way?<br>
