I designed a custom connector footprint with two pins to act as an input jack. In the schematic, I used a simple 01x1 pin connector tied to GND. However, when I open the PCB editor, I get a warning that the second pad I added to the footprint isn’t connected to any net.
In the PCB editor, I can manually assign a net to the second pad, but every time I update the PCB from the schematic, that net assignment is lost. Is there a more efficient or proper way to handle this—perhaps a way to define or preserve the net connection within the footprint or schematic?
Additionally, I get DRC errors because the footprint doesn’t match the schematic after making changes directly in the PCB editor.
