Wages SR PCB Layout Designer H) 919-237-3915 C) 919-484-2963 From: icu-pcb-forum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:icu-pcb-forum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Mark Salberg Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2008 10:11 AM To: icu-pcb-forum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [PCB_FORUM] How to connect Two thru-hole pads that are placed same location. We have two thru-hole connectors placed on top of one another. One populated, one not. PROBLEM: We can not get rid of rats, because two pins / pads at same X:Y. Any ideas how to get connection to both pads? We decided to remove net names from one of the connectors in the schematic, to allow us to connect to one pad on board. Then waive DRC's. We are using V.15.7 and Concept front end.
