Hi All,
We are trying to find a solution, to, actually a very common design
challenge: On our PCB we have different potentials eg: GND, A-GND and
PSU-GND, and need to run those planes separate but to join them together
in a certain point called Star Point (ex: a larger pad between plane and a
thick track, or a gap between multiple planes).
Problems:
1. Starting in the Schematic DRC, we'll record a violation by trying to join
different nets together.
2. Then in the PCB we can run the planes separate and then by forcing a
violation, manually to join them. This means to relay in not forgetting to
do so.
But what we would like to know, is if in Protel (or other) is there a way in
using this option of �star point�(by linking of different nets together)
without causing any upsets in the checking's programmes, and still being
able to use the net list generated from SCH Editor. The PCB pakage should
then produce a warning or an error indicating the nets have not been joined
by copper.
Please e-mail if any idea
Regards
Dan
