Creating a component-pad

Hi Everybody!

 

Say you are creating a PCB with in the middele a cutting section to cut the board in half.

on the cutting section I'd like to have a custom  solderpad acros to connect the two halfs of PCB (connect the nets from left to right if you will)

 

So, placing pads (custom) isn't the solution because it is a lot of work to draw 80% of the nets in Ultiboard instead of Multisim

A netbridge is also a solution for this but not for Multsim

I tried creating a component with just to pins but Ultiboard connects the two nets both at the same end of the component?!?!? strange, can't find where that goes wrong

 

Any ideas??

 

Thankyou

Hello,

 

Could you send images/diagrams of what you are trying to do.

 

In the meantime, this link might be helpful.

Hi,

 

A few years ago I had a similar problem.

The solution is to put a zero ohm resistor across the boards cutting section. (Vcut)

 

 

 

Succes!
