asign a net name to a dummy net

Kennn

I am a new user of Allegro PCB editor of OrCAD 16.2. I want to modify an existed PCB design (*.brd). I add a set of new connect pins and want to assign nets to that pins (dummy nets). Question is I do not know how to do it.

I read someone's suggestion is utilizing "Net Logic" on Logic menu. But I not found "Net Logic" on Logic menu. There are only "Identify DC Nets", "Assign EefDes", and "Auto Refdes".

I was stopped there, please giving me a clear method to solve it. Thank you!!

     If I have Cline with no connectivity, so the net is "Dummy net", I can simply connect to the Cline with another Cline or else draw from the orphaned Cline (use "add connect" mode) and connect the orphaned Cline to some element with net connectivity. Allegro figures out the rest. If you bring a Cline with connectivity to you orphaned Cline, you may have to "chase" the orphaned Cline back to a vertex, but it works for me.
