Hi
A "net-tie" is not a Kicad feature!
Its a PCB design feature/technique to be used when one needs to tie 2 nets in a specific point of the board.
It's more common and easy to understand usage is to connect different ground nets in a single point of the board. Like an analog ground and a digital ground, thus reducing the propagation of high frequency noise from the digital systems to the analog part of the circuit.
Best regards
Jorge

Hi,
?? ? I need a ground strap so I can connect the signal and power planes
at a point of my choosing. In the past it was possible with a bit of
messing about to create a component that did this, however I have just
had a board come back from manufacture and this time it has failed
because the latest kicad 6.0 will not allow GND and GNDA to be connected
even with a frigged component, see below.. Can someone please tell me
how to do this in Kicad, its a real nuisance not being able to do this
easily as its a feature all other CAD systems have.
Isn't this what a Net-Tie is used for in KiCad?
I'm not yet skilled enough in KiCad to know of that feature. Thanks for the tip.
