Netlist prefers not commonly used ground for every ground?

Schematic
1

I have for example 5 connections to AGND, and 100 to DGND. On the schematic I have one single trace that connects AGND to DGND to indicate that they are to have separate planes.

When I import the netlist in to pcbnew DGND is gone and all grounds are called AGND. How can I giver preference to DGND? or force it to ignore and not use AGND?.

To keep the individual identity of the two nets you have to join them with a component [jumper, 0-ohm resistor, net-tie…]. Then create a footprint that suits your needs best, with the two pads connected, to physically join the nets where convenient [e.g. star GND…].

Thanks for the tip!! I created a custom part with two pins, and a module footprint with a bunch of coper between the pads and it worked.

Don’t forget to mark the other side with PWR_FLG’s
