Making a footprint for a WUERTH 3670585 shielding cabinet I face the challenge, that the round corners (done with arcs) will generate a new net, once the footprint is placed into the Layout. This is causing an clearance violation for Cu errors:
Is there a way, that I can predefine the net assigned to the arcs?
Also: I managed to get the error to a warning, by assigning a negative clearance:
This way only warnings are left:
Still: I would like to get the warning away also, since what I’m electrically doing is making perfect sence.

in the footptrint editor place a pad on it and then hit Ctrl+E
Then it has a pad and you can either assign a net in the PCB editor or connect it to a net in the schematic editor
OK, that worked. But I had to hit Ctrl-E twice:
What is Ctrl-E exactly doing?
Thank you so much!
Marko
you seem to have another pad on this arc that is not merged with the arc
What is Ctrl-E exactly doing?
CTRL+E in the FP editor switches to “Edit Pad shape” mode which is used to create arbitrary pad shapes. Note that there is a warning message as long as the Pad edit mode is still active.
Search for “Custom pad shapes” in the pcb editor manual (PCB Editor | 9.0 | English | Documentation | KiCad)
