Can Cadence find out the incorrect-connecting : Two Alias on the same wire

xiaoyi594

Hi, when reviewing schematics(paper copies), I found a net(alias is NET_A) is incorrectly connected with another net(alias is NET_B), this means, NET_A and NET_B are shorted together, which is not intended by the designer.

However, the DRC seems unable to report this kind of situation. I tried to put two different alias on the SAME wire(See picture below), and implement DRC(both Electrical rules and Physical rules), no warnings or errors were reported. 

Is there any way for Cadence to find out this kind of potential error ?

Thank you very much!

    Set the option for "Report all net names" in the Electrical checks. Having multiple Net Aliases is not necessarily unwanted so Capture will report this as "Net <net> has multiple aliases, possible short?" followed by a list of the other assigned aliases.
