connecting a power pad to a macro pin

In my design, there is an One time programmable Memory (OTP).It has 4 power supply pins, VDD, VSS,VPP. The connection of VDD and VSS is similar to the VDD and VSS of the standard cells.( I have connected them with global net connect and sroute) But for VPP , I have used dedicated core power pads(VDD core), but the problem is I cant connect these pads to the VPP pin > My requirement is I need to connect the VDDCORE (cell type) pad named PotpVPP(instance name) to VPP pin of the OTP named tsmc_13_nv_otp(cell type) with u_otp(instance name) .Is this possible using global net connect? In short how can i connect the VDD pin of a particular power pad ( PotpVPP) to the macro pin named VPP

     You can try drawing the connection by  hand - sometimes that will point out the problem for why Sroute is not doing it. (Maybe a routing blockage, DRC violation, etc.)
