[PCB_FORUM] Re: Allegro 15.1: Shorting nets

Jim,
        You can use the property "NET_SHORT" on device pins tie two
        signals together.  It works best on through hole pins, as two
        clines with different signals on the same layer will still 
        produce a line to line DRC. The board shops have not complained
        about this method (yet).

Hey folks. Hopefully a simple question. Does Allegro 15.1 now have the
ability to short two nets together without creating a DRC error? I want
to short a digital ground plane with another isolated plane, but they
both have separate net names. I know I can do it by adding a feature
that will short the nets together using a non-etch layer during artwork
extraction, but that will cause an error at the fab end. Isn't there a
property I can add to a shape or via or pin?
Thanx in advance

Sam,
Your English is fine.  Welcome to the group.  HillBilly is my second
language.
:-))) Does anyone have a Latin translation for HillBilly?

Subject: [PCB_FORUM] strange characters in gerbers

Group,

I'm using the 15.2 cadence, and I'm generating gerbers. I'm seeing extra
characters in gerbers, but are not visible when I dislay the fab
drawing. I've
enable all layers and don't see these characters. Any ideas?

Please excuse my unsophisticated english.
Sam
