Method vivek mentioned works fine, But it's too long.
Use tie pin or 0 ohm resistor in schematics connect AGND & DGND net to both 
side,
Place it at where u want it to short. U'r problem is fixed without any DRC
 
Thanks

Thanks for this tips, but it is a workaround.
It avoids DRC but not future errors as it is not electrically controlled.
 
In fact I forgot to tell that we used to do such methods but it can later on a 
new revision generate a short-circuit or something like.
So we think it is not secure.. And then we would need something safer, if 
possible....

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.

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.
