Hi You can route it manually , and then enable the "Skip routed net" at the auto router config dialog.

as I have said, I appreciate that I can route these manually and then skip them, but that is too labor intensive and is something I would like to avoid if possible.

"...I appreciate that I can route these manually and then skip them, but that is too labor intensive and is something I would like to avoid if possible." At present your only option is to route them manually as advised by UserSupport. The fact that you have attached three different netflags is meaningless in terms of the netlist because electrically it is all the same net so, in the netlist it has only one name.

Thanks Andy, so no workarounds then? I did try to update the schematic lib to add in a second joined contact with a different netflag but that resulted in the same behaviour.  As you have said it appears that it only looks to see what nets are electrically joined and then joins them at the most convenient location. Only way I can think to achieve something similar is to use / create a device or terminal adjacent to the destination and route to that instead

Hmmm. You got me thinking. Not tried this but it might work: 1. create - and save with a unique name - a pcb footprint for a 3 pin device that is just a little pad with 3 pins numbered 1, 2, and 3; 2. create and save with the same name, a schematic symbol for a 3 way connector (with all 3 pins connected together) numbered 1, 2, and 3 and assign the "package" attribute to be the name of the footprint you just created; 3. place the symbol in your schematic then update the pcb from the schematic to pull your footprint into the PCB. You should then be able to place the new footprint where you want and autoroute to each pin separately. * For more info on why adding the pad in the schermatic is a good plan please see (2), (4), (5) and (6) in: [https://easyeda\.com/andyfierman/Welcome\_to\_EasyEDA\-31e1288f882e49e582699b8eb7fe9b1f](https://easyeda.com/andyfierman/Welcome_to_EasyEDA-31e1288f882e49e582699b8eb7fe9b1f)
