New symbol short net on different layer

Filo221

Hi all, 

I would like to do a short between  two nets / plane on different layer.

The good solution could be a via, and use property "Net_short".

But I don't want to use the property "Net_short" and I have created a symbol  for to have more control on PCB.   

 

But it's not clear to me how I can do a vias in Allegro to connect two nets/plane both external and internal layer. 

I already tried some solutions but they don't work. 

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

    A way to create a 'short' between two nets:

    create a eg rectangular SMD padstack on a certain etch layer.

    Shift the origin of the pad, thats where the cline will snap to. By using enough space between the origin points of the 2 padstacks, the clines (of different nets) will not touch eachother and won't create a DRC..

    Then create a footprint with 2 of these padstacks just touching eachother.

    Also add "NODRC_SYM_SAME_PIN" on the part so you don't get a DRC because of 2 padstacks touching eachother.
