The NET_SHORT pin property will accomplish this and can be passed to allegro 
from concept or capture.

Jim,

I don't know what schematic tool you're using but I use Mentor ePD2004
and it has a neat symbol called a ripper. This allows the user to short
two nets together and not change the individual net names. Works great
with Allegro 15.2 I'm not sure if there's a feature in Concept HDL or
Capture CIS that is similar.

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
