How to change net name in PCB without rerouting

AName
AName over 4 years ago

Is there a way to change net name in OrCAD PCB Designer 17+ without unrouting and rerouting the traces?

In Edit -> Net Properties, by right clicking the nets from the list, there is a Rename option but it's always inactive.

In earlier versions there was a command: editChangeNet, but it's no longer available.

    If you are using 17.4V then use the design sync option. Update the netname in schematics and use design sync feature to quickly update the changes on schematics without re-routing/unrouting
