Altium, net class manual routing

[aleksaZR]

Say I have 3 nets: 5V, 5VA and 5VB.
I want to route 5VA and 5VB separately, then join them in some point(s) to 5V.

I've created a net class (CLASS5V) with all 3 nets so I can create a rule allowing
CLASS5V to be short-circuited to the same class.

That works great, I can route all 3 nets together and join them... but Altium still thinks
some points are not connected - even though they are.

For example, I have two vias of 5VA net connected together with a 5VB track,
and Altium doesn't think they are connected... it still shows a ratsnets.

What is the Altium's approach to this kind of routing?

maybe you could use net ties to connect all nets. there is a video on altium . https://altiumvideos.live.altium.com/

I would second net ties, commonly called STARPOINTS in other systems, it is the least problematic way of dealing with split nets.
