> Please give us an example where you would need to connect more than 2 nets. You can also use net ties to help with the layout of star topologies, length controlled splits and decoupling capacitors. Star Topologies: Connect the diode and capacitors in a buck converter to GND through a net tie. The ratsnest will always show between these three pins, regardless of whether another GND trace is nearer. Lenght controlled splits (e.g. for clocks): Split at a defined point, and use the length tuner tool to make sure both paths have the same length. Decoupling capacitors: Connect the capacitor to the pin directly, and place a net tie between them and the supply net. The capacitor will show up connected to the pin in the ratsnest, allowing you to easily keep track of capacitors (ideally, that would not have to be represented in the drawn schematic, because that would be cumbersome to use).
