Short to ground
✕ errorconnectivity/short-circuit
What it looks like
U1.vout is wired straight to ground — that's a short, not a circuit.
What it checks
A driven terminal (power or signal output) wired directly to a ground-typed terminal with nothing between them.
Why it matters
The source dumps its full capability into the wire until something gives — the regulator's thermal limit, a trace, or the part itself. There is no load that benefits.
How to fix it
Almost always a mis-wire: the intended target sits one pin over, or a label confused two nets. Follow the named net in the message to the exact wire.
