Thanks for the remark, Peter. I used "wires" and placed "net labels". It's amazing that I'm allowed to place parts with one and the same ref. designators. OK. I placed a net label on the wire that had GND power port connected expecting the name of the label to change to GND but it didn't.
The ERC caught both the duplicated net labels and the duplicated parts. But when I updated the PCB the duplicated net labels were not reported as a problem. On the PCB I got this pin (with duplicated net) connected to the name of the label (not to GND). When I move the net label aside, the pin is connected to GND. So far so good. Lets think this is a feature. I decided to check what will happen if I place a net label on top of two wires, which are crossing each other but not connected. They didn't have any other labels placed. ERC didn't catch it and the update PCB didn't complain either. It just shorted those two wires while on the schematic they are visibly not connected. Is this another feature? How may I prevent designers for shorting nets this way? Is there any way to prevent Protel from placing duplicated ref. designators?
