Hi William,
 
In allegro menu
 
1.Setup/Subclass/Board geometry/
 
Create a layer called "GND_SHORT"
 
2.Add/line 
under Board geometry/Gnd_short layer(Here you need to add a line width of 50
mil with required length where the agnd and dgnd gnds  generating point)
 
 
3.In the manufacturing /artwork/Film Control
 
select your gnd layer.art (plane layer)film and  add the  subclass layer
"gnd_short"  under the class board geometry(Set it in the Gerber level)
 
I hope this may help without generating DRC.

Subject: [PCB_FORUM] DGND/AGND merge point


Hello All.
 
Quite often, a board contains both AGND and DGND and the customer asks us to
connect them together on a single point on the board, like GND pin of a
connector.
 
Does anybody know how to do it in Allegro without generating DRCs errors?
 
Thanks in advance.
 
    William.
