The client wants star grounding, but has named all the star paths as different nets. I can't just join them together, as far as I know, without them becoming a single net, so I thought I'd make a small dummy component with 2 SM pins and copper between them. This solves the net joining problem, but obviously creates a large number of DRC errors, because everything is very close together. I can "Accept" these errors, but the text clutters up the PCB and makes it ugly and hard to see exactly what's going on. 1/ Have I missed a way to join nets while keeping them as separate names? or 2/ Is there a way to hide accepted errors? Alternatively, does anyone have another suggestion on how to work around this in a clean way? http://mike-warren.net [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
