Sometimes we use 0 ohm smd resistor to jump over a line, in place of via. But if we do so, we need to add this 0 ohm resistor to schematic, or, we need to add a footprint separately. But if we add a footprint separately, we have issues with the connection.
Is there any way to use a 0 ohm resistor like a via with the same easy usage of via?
I think you have no other option, since you are breaking the net and it will result on two different nets.
You are using it because you have only 1 layer copper? Or to save nr of vias?
