How to short two nets with different names in layout.

Hello,

I am using Cadence Virtuoso Layout Suite XL.

I have done EMX on a line (just a metal trace) to use it as an inductor. The issue comes when I try to connect everything back in schematic/ layout. For this line, I tried using the cds_thru which worked in schematic, however, in layout, I was unable to extract it due to to it seeing it as 2 different nets. 

Is there a component I can use for this specific purpose? I need the 2 nets to have different names but be able to connect them.

Thanks

    Most PDKs have metal resistors available which can be used for this purpose.
