{--------- How are nets merged and assigned? My problem is the following: I have two nets - VCC and VDD - that are connected to a third net (3.3V). VCC is connected through a copper zone under an IC. It appears that the merged net (when creating a netlist) gets a random name (either 3.3V, VCC or VDD). This is usually not a problem but since the zone is connected to "VCC" and Kicad doesn't change that property of zones, I get a DRC violation every second time or so, that I generate a new netlist.
I've tried placing labels on the various wires in all sheets in EEschema but the outcome is still not predictable. Sometimes the net seem to get the name from the wire I last edited - but not always! Power port symbols don't seem to make any difference either. }---------
