Ground-to-ground

Connections

Ground-to-ground connections are made either using existing signals in one of the ground slots or by creating a new signal when neither cavity already has a signal. Various scenarios are possible.

If the source cavity has one signal, it is used as the signal for the new wire.
If the source cavity has multiple signals, the user is prompted to select a signal.
If the source cavity has no signals, the signal is chosen from the destination cavity.
If neither cavity has a signal, a new Ground-Connecting signal is created. This displays in browser trees with the ground device icon . You can edit ground-connecting signals only manually. The system cannot route them automatically, and it removes them if the last wire is deleted from a signal. A ground-connecting signal is named after the source ground slot with a unique numeric suffix.
If the cavities are associated with different signals, the signal on the source cavity is associated with the destination cavity when the wire is added. The destination cavity is then associated with more than one signal, effectively shorting those signals together.

All ground-to-ground connections made using the Add Wire function in the Depopulate Wiring dialog box because they are surplus to the wiring required by the functional data. If you depopulate all wiring (from all levels) of a ground-connecting signal, this deletes the signal as well.
