Yves, I've found that a sure-fire way to avoid netlist conflicts in this
situation is to create a second Schematic part for each IC to be
decoupled, changing its power pin Name from "VCC" or "VDD" to
something like "U25_PWR". Replace the original Sch component
with this part. This will netlist cor
There is a No-Connect Rule you can apply to those component pads.
Goto D(esign)/R(ules)/Manufacturing/Power Plane Connection Style/Add
Then goto Filter Kind and specify "Pad", and go find the pad you want.
