Sir,
I am running DRC Rule checking for my PCB project. Altium gives shortcut that we can resolve our errors by using PCB Panel. First i run DRC Rule Check & then i opened PCB panel. But I am in trouble with PCB Panel when i am opening PCB panel i get option like
1) Net
2) Component
3) From Top- To-Editor
4) Split plane Editor
5) Differential pairs editor
6) Polygons
7) Hole size Editor
8) 3-D Models
9) Structure classes
But as Altium mentioned I am not getting option like "Rule". so what i can do for getting "Rule " options.
In the report I am getting Errors so to resolve that errors i need PCB panel so please help me.

Thank you.
 

DRC checks yours design and compares it with the "Rules" that you have defined for your design.
if you didn't set the rules take a look at Design > Rules menu and set the rules according to your design and fabrication process.
in case of violations ion DRC you should correct them.

I am not getting clear idea from above discussion. so please tell me stepwise answer for---How to get "Rules mode" or "Design Rules" mode in PCB panel in altium. So i am able to resolve my DRC.
 

I don't know how much you know about PCB design or weather you have worked with another PCB design software or not.
before designing a pcb you should set your design rules , most important design rules are Clearance, Width, Hole sizes and etc
in Altium Designer you can set them from Design > Rules
 

Thank you.
I know only Altium software. So if you know anything related to Altium please forward the links
 

I understand your confusion, sujitpatil! You are following the instructions on the Altium Wiki exactly, and you aren't seeing what you expect to see.

It appears that at some point in the development cycle Altium took Rules and Violations out of the PCB Panel and made its own dedicated panel, and I don't see any reference to that in the Wiki. This panel can be accessed by going to the lower right-hand corner of the main screen and clicking on "PCB" (if no "PCB" appears, click on "<<" and it should appear). Then enable the checkbox by "PCB Rules and Violations". You will then see another tab appear by the side of the PCB Panel tab (in a frame to the left of the main design window). Click on this tab to see the PCB Rules and Violations Panel. Alternatively, the panel may appear in its own dedicated window; if you have other dedicated windows floating, the Rules and Violations panel may add itself to one of these floating windows as another tab.
