2016-11-04 18:53:24 Kyle description KiCad version: v4.0.4 using community Arch Linux packages. ## Problem Description If two wires cross over each other without a junction, the wires remain unconnected as expected. If a label is placed with its origin at the location where the wires cross over, then both nets are assigned the net name by the label. ERC does not catch this. ## Expected behavior ERC error indicating an ambiguous label assignment. If intentional, add a junction at the intersection. If unintentional, shift the label or wires one position. ## Links Imgur Album of Schematic and Layout: http://imgur.com/gallery/paOpf KiCad project to recreate: https://github.com/kylemanna/kicad-netlist-headache Long winded blog post for more detail: https://blog.kylemanna.com/kicad-schematic-label-breaks-netlist ## Version information Application: kicad Version: 4.0.4-stable release build wxWidgets: Version 3.0.2 (debug,wchar_t,compiler with C++ ABI 1010,GCC 6.2.1,wx containers,compatible with 2.8) Platform: Linux 4.8.4-1-ARCH x86_64, 64 bit, Little endian, wxGTK Boost version: 1.62.0 USE_WX_GRAPHICS_CONTEXT=OFF USE_WX_OVERLAY=OFF KICAD_SCRIPTING=ON KICAD_SCRIPTING_MODULES=ON KICAD_SCRIPTING_WXPYTHON=ON USE_FP_LIB_TABLE=HARD_CODED_ON BUILD_GITHUB_PLUGIN=ON KiCad version: v4.0.4 using community Arch Linux packages. ## Problem Description If two wires cross over each other without a junction, the wires remain unconnected as expected.
