When auto-connecting a trace from a via how do you stop the software from changing netnames when a shape is on that layer.

Lennie

I have a via with netname VBAT. I have a dynamic shape on the same layer.  When I route from the via and stop in the shape area and end the route the netname changes to the name of the shape.  How do I stop this from happening ?

    What net is assigned to the shape & is it the same as VBAT.

    I have never seen Allegro just changing a net name on the fly. This would go against every rule one would expect from a host cad system.

    Seems odd you are seeing this. If the net name for the shape was VBAT then one would expect a merge as the nets are the same. If not the dynamic shape should clear to make way for the VBAT route.
