DRC Violations in kicad 6

@paulvdh

Is that “Green SMD” pad part of the footprint?

Yes

@paulvdh

The most common way to connect pads in the footprint itself is to give them all the same pin number. Extensive use is made of this in for example all footprints with thermal pads (and via’s)

Okay, I’ve modified the footprint as you suggested. All drain pins have the same number (5). Here’s the new symbol and footprint

@paulvdh

Does your DRC violation go away when you remove that green thing?
This is at least an easy wat to diagnose if that is causing the issue.

Yes, the DRC violation is gone away.

@paulvdh

For further diagnosis, you can also upload a small example project with that footprint and a few nets to connect it to something else (for example different pins of a connector).

Understood. Thank you for your help!
