Multiple traces to pad.

I have a part that has a thermal pad with "vias" enbedded tied to ground. I have several discretes that need to be tied to ground. I can run a trace from the discrete to the thermal pad but I get pad to line DRCs. It looks like the second line segment coming out of the pad is causing the DRC. Is there anything I can set/do to get rid of these DRCs without using the "Waive" feature? Thanks!

In the Spacing rule set, set same net drc to off.

Thanks for the suggestion. That is the first thing I tried. It didn't seem to make a difference. What I ended up doing was since the pad was a thermal pad and I had room, I created a copper shape slightly larger than the pad and routed to the shape. That worked OK. Thanks again!
