Advanced Trace Spacing Rules

semiuniversal

My board was rejected for manufacturing because of minimum trace spacing violations not caught by Flux. I need need per-net and global minimum trace-spacing settings exposed in the Layout Rules panel, and the DRC to catch them. Should be able to enter a value, e.g., ".01mm".

I have looked at the "Keep Out" rule but this seems like it has drawbacks:

No way (that I can figure out, or findable in docs) to apply this globally. Instead you have to select each net and there is no way to select all nets. There can be hundreds.
Bidirectional effects that can move polys, pads, etc. It seems the effects differ based in object type.

I want a global setting that simply makes sure that traces just don't get too close to pads, vias or other traces, the edge of the board, etc.
