Multi label on same Net

[eveillejmEUETL]

I have a schematic with several shunts, which have a common connection.
I need to route these shunts in differential pairs.

Unfortunately, this doesn't work because I have to rename the labels (Net) and the common Net gets renamed too.

How can I put several labels on the same Net?

Or is there another solution?

Thanks in advance.

Hello @eveillejmEUETL,

I hope you're doing well. In EAGLE nets are connected by net name, so you can't have multiple names assigned to the same net. What you'll have to do is give each of the pairs different names. To connect the commons, you have essentially 2 options.

1) You can use jumper components which workaround this limitation by giving two pads but shorting them with copper in the library.

2)On the board you can manually route the commons so that they short at a single point, it will generate some DRC errors but since this is intentional you can approve them.

Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

Best Regards,

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback.
Yes, we created a component that we then short-circuited in the routing.

That's a lot of DRC errors, so we have to be careful too not validate real errors.
