Version
2023.2 English

The IS_ENABLED property lets you enable or disable individual design rule checks (DRC) in the Vivado Design Suite when running Report DRC. For more information on Running DRCs, see this link in the Vivado Design Suite User Guide: System-Level Design Entry (UG895).

You can enable or disable both built-in and custom DRCs. For information on writing custom design rule checks, see this link in the Vivado Design Suite User Guide: Using Tcl Scripting (UG894).

Important: Although Vivado allows you to disable and downgrade the severity of the built-in DRC Objects, this practice is highly discouraged as it can cause unpredictable results and could potentially cause permanent damage to the device.

To restore the DRC objects to the factory default setting, use the reset_drc_check Tcl command.

Values
