unconnected PIN error of mechanical holes with same Nets-Name

Xiaofeng
Xiaofeng 2 months ago

Hi Community,

The 4 mechanical mounting holes for a Power Module in the Capture are represented with PIN Name  MH1, MH2, MH3, MH4 as below

There are more power modules in the project design. Therefor there are multiple mounting holes with the same PIN name(Net Name) MH1, MH2, MH3, MH4.  In the PCB-Edotor The DRC check error takes them as unrouted Nets.

But in actually they are just mecanical mounting holes and do not need to be routed.  Can any one please help to fix this problem ?  

Thank you very much!

Xiaofeng

    Change the pin type to be "input" and the net name will not inherit the pin name.
