Connecting two separate nets to one junction.

Former Member

I'm trying to connect two different nets to one junction.  Each nets carries separate trace sizing due to amp draws from components.  How can I connect the two nets to one junction with out combining the nets? I would like to keep the nets separate to minimize trace size on the final pcb.

Thanks

    This is a VFAQ! (Is there an FAQ page for this newsgroup anywhere?)

     

    Basically, if two nets are connected then they're the same net. To keep

    them separate you need to connect them only through a component. But

    since Eagle knows nothing about what components actually do, it's quite

    happy to accept a device which just wires things together. The normal

    trick is to create a device whose symbol is two pins connected together

    and whose package is two (SMD) pads coincident. This will create DRC

    errors but you can accept them and they go away.
