There are two DRC/ERC problems I keep on running into when defining new components. Are there solutions for them ?
1) Some components have pins that are internally connected to each other. A simple example would be a U-shaped CR2032 battery clip that has + on both pins (- is a pad below the clip). If I give both pins the same number, I can connect to either of them, but pcbnew still wants me to make a connection between the two pins, too. Is there a way to avoid this ? 2) I have an I/O pin of a microcontroller, declared as "bidirectional". When I use it to supply power to another chip, ERC complains that power_in is not driven. If I put a power flag on the trace, ERC complains about "power_out connected to pin BiDir". Is there any way around this, short of disabling this warning ?
