defining netname manually in orcad X PCB

YV202508175258

Hello, as you can see the photo in the link  I have created  shapes all over on  several layers.

I want to define each shape its net name.

What is the proper way to manually add net names in the PCB mode.
So I could manually define a shape with my manually defined net name.

Thanks.

    Hi, in answer to your question - generally editing netlist manually is discouraged in PCB designs to avoid net errors or mistakes in the PCB design. I have double checked this today but found that the ability edit or create nets using the "net logic" command is only available in Allegro tier licenses. Without this feature, a new netname can be created in the netlist file or schematic specifically for assignment to these special shapes.

    Let me know if anyone has any further thoughts or ideas on this.
