Because the question frequently arises of how to connect two or more 
grounds while maintain DRC and the separation of the grounds except at a 
single point, and because the instructions as to how to do this can be 
misinterpreted, I have uploaded to the protel-user filespace a PCB file 
with two virtual short footprints in it, two grounds which are shorted by 
the footprints, and a Design Rule which allows the close proximity which is 
the key to this method. The gap is 2 microinches and the design rule allows 
1 microinch for that footprint.

The file is in the filespace at

and the direct URL for file download is
