~/.pcb/preferences contains = DRC vaules..

Looking on my system, it appears there may be som= e breakage though...

min-width =3D 1 px
min-silk =3D 1 px
min-= drill =3D 15.00 mil
min-ring =3D 10.00 mil

Hmm - what has p= ixels got to do with anything... BUG? (it gets read in as 0.1mil .actually,= but emitting px is wrong)

Anyway - try editing that file.. se= e if it updates things.

Be aware that some preferences are sav= ed between PCB runs (but a quick check suggests these DRC clearances are no= t updated in the file, so should persist once you edit the file).

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 loade= d. (And perhaps using the import schematics functionality to create your ne= w design?)

There is nothing I can do to make pcb remember any kind of DRC settings fro= m project to project. What you tell me should work, doesn't.

Please can anyone tell me what settings/config file to create or edit, so t= hat every time I open a new instance of pcb, the DRC settings are just ther= e? Or doesn't it work that way?

Kind regards,
