NetGroup random behavior

Fredda

I'm struggling to connect signals to a NetGroup I've created. It feels like the behavior of Capture is totally random. This is what I do:

Right click a wire or a pin -> Connect to Bus -> Click on the NetGroup

All sorts of things seem to happen. Single click works sometimes, but you never know in what direction the Bus Entry will connect. Sometimes the net name is not added and sometimes it's just plain weird...

Things are more likely to go right if I right click on a pin than on a wire and then chose Connect to Bus. But what are the rules here? And what is the correct procedure to avoid things like above?

    Here's an example of what can go wrong...

    Which exact version are you running? The auto-connections are expecting the grid to be 1:1 of the Pin Grid, it looks like you are using 1:2 which might also be related to the issue.

    Version is OrCAD Capture CIS 17.4-2019 S024 (3998392) [12/6/2021].

    Grid spacing is 1/2 of pin to pin. I'll change and see if it works better. Thanks.
