Zcopy with net name change

arcwilson

Is it possible to zcopy a shape to one of the etch layers and assign a new net name to the resulting shape?

 I'm trying to create a GND pour on the top etch layer by using a shape I've already created from the package keep in layer. 

I'm currently able to zcopy the shape to the top etch layer, thus creating the dynamic shape I'm looking for.  However, OrCAD assigns the new shape to the net "Dummy Net" and I can't figure out how to change the net from "Dummy Net" to GND.  

 Any ideas?

     Hi Bill,

    Can you be more specific on exactly where this is in PCB Editor?  When I select the shape I don't see any option for assigning a net.  I feel like this is such a basic thing that I'm probably just missing something obvious, but I've spent hours searching through the editor menus and can't find anything that seems to allow me to change the net on a shape.  However, when I create a NEW shape, it gives me the option to "Assign Net Name".  

    Thanks for the help,

    Chris
