**Content**

```text
When I run the DRC check using the provided GF180 project template in the Nix shell enviornment (with only the pad rings included) encountered about 104 errors. One example is shown in the attached image. I wanted to confirm whether we are expected to debug these errors ourselves, or if they may be related to the provided pad-ring macros.

Thanks!
```

Thanks for the heads up. Now I update the template as well as the pdk repo. But now I am encountering the following DRC issues(LVS and antenna errors are clean). I am running on my M4 MAC in the nix environment, when I launch the nix shell, there were 2 skip and 1 fail see attached, I am not sure if this has something to do with the drc errors.

Also all of the magic DRCs I get are just complaints about filler cells being placed on top of themselves. As far as I'm aware this is harmless and other people have reported it too.

The difference between macOS and Linux is unexpected and strange.
But then again, we're running LibreLane `dev` with updated OpenROAD, so some issues might be expected.

@Evansika Could you open an issue in [gf180mcu-project-template](https://github.com/wafer-space/gf180mcu-project-template) so we can keep track of this?
```
