Error annular width, wrong annual

Layout

I have DRC error, it says annular width is not enough. Constraint is 0.1mm min, actual is 0mm. However, using measure tool it shows 0.7mm. So what is wrong of my footprint?

I think you’ll find that the noun for the ring is annulus. Annual is an adjective meaning every year.

A write “annular”, just like on error message. :grinning:

Seems like a bug in DRC on first glance, consider opening an issue on Gitlab and attaching the same file. Easiest way to get started is KiCad > Help > Report bug.

Don’t use the measure tool, examine the pad/PTH parameters directly. (bacause sometimes the copper is added as simple copper shape).
