[Solved] KiCad 7: How to add OSHW footprint without triggering DRC errors?

[Javier_Cardona]

Hi,

I’m porting a design from Kicad 6.0 to 7.0. When I update the OSHW footprint, I get tons of DRC errors

“Front solder mask aperture bridges items with different nets”
and
“Clearance violation” (netclass clearance: 0.2mm actual: 0.0)"

I know I could silence them, but that’s lots of them and I don’t want to silence the whole class in case a legitimate problem with my layout gets silenced as well.

Does any one know a better way to handle this?

This was not a problem with the previous version of Kicad (6.0)

Thanks,

Duh, solved. I was using the custom footprint I created for 6.0. Turns out 7.0 already provides these, and they work fine.
