Heavy Current Connections

6 Jan 2012

We are using DS Version 3

Great Tool, but we have a design with a PCB mounted Spade connector that must carry heavy current.  We wish to track the connector on both sides of a double sided board.

The solder side of the board tracks up OK but when we try and track the top side we get the error message, " A connection already exists between these components". 

Is there a technique to get around this error? 

Or is it possible to change the error message to a warning?

Thanks in advance for suggestions

Open Preferences Ctrl F7, on the Interaction Tab on the right hand side you will see 'PCB Interaction' then under 'Adding PCB Tracks' check the 'Allow Duplicate Tracks' box.
