I need to perform Netlist extraction and DRC checks with very small geometries (with 1 micron trace and spacing). Can FAB 3000 support these micro dimension requirements?

Yes. Typically most PCB designs go down to 1 mil traces and spacing - which is the limit of most PCB Fabricators. However as design requirements keep getting smaller, you can set FAB 3000 to handle Micro dimension capabilities (50 nm trace/space).
To do this start FAB 3000 and go to menu: Setup / Options...
Select tab "Misc" and go to option "Design Database Extents".
Set to "Micro", and press OK.
Note: You will need to exit and restart FAB 3000 for the changes to adjust.
Note: If you're working with a very large design (over 1 meter), than you can set FAB 3000 database extents to "Large".
