Purpose |
In some cases, stubs indicate an error in the design. Normally, lines end with pads, or are drilled by component holes or vias (wide ground conductors). |
Function |
Reports line endpoints that do not touch any other feature. Measurements are shapes representing the endpoints (e.g. a circle for a round capped line). When two identical lines lie on top of each other, the two
lines' endpoints touch each other. This is reported, if the end points do not
touch other features. Drilled line endpoints are not inserted as measurements. |

Known Limitations |
* Features tagged
with the .pattern_fill attribute are not
tested for Stubs in order to improve performance. * The endpoints of
lines that are shaved (touching successive negative features) are not
inserted as measurements. * When two circuit
lines coincide, possibly a false alarm will be reported at the end of the
wider line. |
