haven't made a pcb in a long time but when i did, used Altium & there were design rule checks for everything; but, none for creepage. Interesting, thanks for sharing.

Interesting. A quick search says there is now a creepage rule, but its not enabled by default: https://www.altium.com/documentation/altium-designer/pcb-ele...

I wonder why that is.

Because it doesn't work quite right. It's also extremely slow. Extremely. Even by Altium DRC standards.

Source: tried to do HV design with it around two years back.
