    Although I suppose I could design a device with non-overlapping SMD pads

    and a blob that joins them in a special layer, plus mods to the Gerber

    ULP to include that layer.

     

    That's what the devices in supply-dummy.lbr are for, I believe.

    I see no library called supply-dummy.lbr

    That is my preferred method.  Its dangerous though because you are bypassing

    DRC checking.  But it gives you the lowest inductance path (which is

    important) to connect together various parts of a ground plane.

     

    I've been meaning to do a write up to explain how to do this.  So many

    things to do....

     

    Cheers,

     

    James.
