Net Merge¶

The Net Merge feature in JITX allows you to visually combine split nets by removing net labels. Note that this operation does not change the underlying net list.

Steps to Merge Nets¶

Select Net Labels: Select one or more net labels on the same net.
Merge: Press q or delete.

Behavior¶

The behavior of the Net Merge operation depends on the number of net labels selected:

One Net Label Selected¶

When a single net label is selected, merging will remove the label and route to the nearest net label on the same net.

Figure 1: Merge a single net label.

If no other label on the same net is within the selected label's schematic group hierarchy, the nets cannot merge.

Figure 2: Failed merge when no other label is in the same group hierarchy.

Multiple Net Labels Selected¶

When multiple net labels are selected, merging will remove all but one of the labels and route them together.

Figure 3: Merge multiple net labels.

If the labels are on different nets or belong to different schematic group hierarchies, the nets cannot merge.
