[PCB_FORUM] Re: Shorting two or more nets together

Hey Dennis,

You can put the "Net_Short" property on a pin, via or shape with the Value 
field as "[net1]:[net2]" (I think three nets would be "[net1]:[net2]:[net3]").

I can't remember for sure, but you may want to run a Database Check afterwards.

Also, I would suggest including a Net Short document along with the Fab files 
in order to avoid the inevitable phone call/e-mail.

As far as the schematic is concerned, I'm not sure. But I would think at least 
a Note would be in order.

Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Shorting two or more nets together

Hi Everyone,
                Can I ask how to properly short two or more grounds at a common 
point using Cadence Allegro 16.X and Design Entry HDL?  Thanks for any and all 
ideas! DC
