How to check if there is a plane during the signal routing ？

zpofrp

While reviewing a PCB design file, I noticed that there is a plane in the DDR high-speed signal routing. This is likely due to the designer mistakenly defining what should have been a power plane as a signal plane. I would like to know if there is a relatively simple method to check for such issues, rather than relying entirely on manual inspection.

    In the image, the shape is in the same layer as the routed signal, right? so, from the point of view of the tool, this is just a net that meets with a shape. I don't see how this can be separated from the situation where you ACTUALLY want to do that ... I know this is a mistake here, but how would you separate it from the corner case where you want to route a net into a shape?
