Dave (@onedashtwo81), the concept behind “net tie” is to draft the affected nets as distinct and separate nets, but connect them in such a way that KiCAD doesn’t recognize it as a connection. (Or blatantly connect them and, as @bobc says, ignore the DRC squawk.)
There is a discussion about “Net Ties” at Protip #2: net tie . For some reason I thought a “net tie” component and symbol had been recently added to KiCAD but I can’t find it, so I guess not. Perhaps that was a residual thought from a previous incarnation, when I was using P-CAD.
