PROCESSING ERRORS

 

The three buttons available on the ERC Errors Dialog are all related to how you want to process the errors on your schematic. Here’s how they work:

• Clear All – Selecting this button will remove all of the issues listed on your errors report. Keep in mind that if you select Clear All and haven’t actually fixed anything, the next time you run your ERC all of the errors will reappear.

• Processed – Selecting this button will gray out the icon of an error that you have selected. This comes in handy if you need a way to visually mark that you have fixed an error before running your ERC again.

• Approve – Selecting this button will move a selected error into the Approved category at the bottom of your ERC Errors Dialog. This is a handy feature if there’s a specific error or warning that you don’t need to fix, and you simply want to remove it from your list of to-do’s.

One thing to note, just because you mark an error as processed or approved in the ERC Errors Dialog does not mean that EAGLE knows it’s fixed. To confirm that an error has been fixed you need to close and reopen the ERC Errors Dialog and EAGLE will check your schematic again in full.
