Same Altium bridge as last hour. #179 adds a clearance check for two objects so a script that places copper "wants to know how far apart they are and whether Altium's own clearance rule is met, without running a full DRC and parsing its report." Altium's Violation.Description reads empty on AD 25, so only a yes or no comes back. #183 swaps object counting to Altium's internal counter, 0.09 s instead of 5.44 s for 8722 tracks.
