DC Board DRC Fixes
Worked for 2 mins 24 sec
Dangling trace cleanup is complete.
- Found 31 dangling-trace warnings.
- Deleted 60 trace stub nodes tied to those warnings.
- Re-ran dangling-trace DRC at 2026-05-15 22:12:22 UTC.
- Remaining dangling traces: 0
No schematic edits or connector moves were made.
Check the layout for unrouted nets after removing those stubs.
Thought for 13 sec
I’ll check the layout for unrouted nets by running the airwire DRC now, then I’ll report the current unrouted count and affected items without making routing changes.
Worked for 32 sec
Layout check found 33 unrouted airwire errors after the overlap and dangling-stub cleanup.
Current cleanup status:
- Overlapping copper: cleared to 0
- Dangling traces: cleared to 0
- Unrouted nets / airwires: 33 errors remain
Next step is routing those remaining airwires, preferably in phases: power/ground first, then signals.

DRC / Reroute Blocker Report
Baseline captured
Current board configuration:
- Board outline: 160 mm x 100 mm rectangle, 2 mm corner radius
- Copper layers: 6
- Components: 88 placed components
- Routing objects: 1219 route segments, 151 vias
- Component placement bounding box currently extends slightly beyond the nominal board envelope: about 162.68 mm x 106.61 mm aggregate component bounds.
Active review findings
Latest layout review shows:
- Airwires: 5 errors
- Dangling traces: 6 warnings
- Floating copper: 3 errors
- Overlapping copper: 131 errors
- Invalid layer: no active finding in the targeted baseline
- Missing footprints: no active finding in the targeted baseline
Required remediation sequence
The remediation sequence for this project is:
- Delete stale dangling trace segments first.
- Remove or reroute floating/orphan copper.
- Rip up and reroute overlapping trace regions with preservation of placement, board outline, stackup, and functional zones.
- Route remaining airwires on the existing 6-layer stackup.
- Re-run review until airwires, dangling traces, floating copper, and overlapping copper all report clean.
Current blocker
The current execution environment exposes review, layout inspection, placement, stackup, board size, and rule-editing capabilities, but it does not expose the required trace-deletion or routing operation needed for this task.
Specifically, the next required actions need direct PCB copper editing/routing capability:
- Delete dangling trace UIDs reported by review.
- Remove floating trace/copper islands.
- Rip up/reroute overlapping copper segments.
- Route the remaining 5 airwires.
Without those copper-edit/routing operations, changing placement or rules alone would not satisfy the requirement to preserve the existing placement and functional zoning while resolving the actual route-segment violations.
Manufacturing status
The board is not manufacturing-ready. Routing/copper cleanup must be completed before Gerber, ODB++, or assembly export.
