Re: gEDA-user: Connecting AGND with GND

[Steven Michalske <smichalske@xxxxxxxxx>]

This is a feature that i have been looking for.

How i cope with this is i use a 0603 or similar footprint and will  
route the board,  then after DRC passes i will short them with a  
copper line between the two pads.

what i would want is a footprint with the capability to have non pin/ 
pad copper, with the intelligence to know that it is supposed to join  
the nets attached between the past is connects to in the footprint.
