Merge 2 Copper lines

jatins

Hi 

I want to merge 2 Copper lines which i have drawn in PCB Editor and have no net connected to them.

I have done Merge Shapes before but can't figure out Merge Lines command.

Thanks!

    1. Initially add NET_SHORT property  to the pin of the component but not the wire. For instance if you want to short GND and AGND, make the value of the NET_SHORT property GND:AGND. The first netname in the value string is the net that the pin is connected to (GND in this case). The second netname in the value string is the net (AGND) that I wish to allow to short to GND at this point. The netnames are separated by a colon.

    2. Set up the allegro.cfg file. Save the schematic and select Tools -> Create Netlist. Before netlisting select the Setup button on the Create Netlist form and choose the allegro.cfg file to be edited. The allegro.cfg file is loaded into a plain text editor. Locate the section called [pinprops] typically towards the bottom of the file. Add the line NET_SHORT = YES to this section. Save the allegro.cfg file and OK the Setup form. Then run the netlister by OK'ing the Create Netlist form.
