Why does Eagle not have a "standard" way to link Analogue and Digital grounds

e14 Contributor
e14 Contributor over 10 years ago

The common practice is to keep the analogue and digital grounds seperate and then link them at 1 point. Many  people that have tried to do this over the years have used various work arounds to do this in a "safe" manner without getting DRC errors. Other people have done things that generated DRC errors and then approved them like create a part that has overlapping pads. In either case, the search gives the impression that the Eagle PCB does not have a standard built in method to allow this. Why?

    Check the "supply-dummy.lbr".

    It contains a dual gnd device but using additional layer 53/54, so watch it.
