X over pad in PCB editor

 Hi Guys,

I've only been using ORCAD for about 2 months now, so I'm sure this is a silly problem. I seem to have an issue with one of my nets - I am getting an "x" over all of the pads in the net and not a single component appears to get associate with that net. I have attached a screenshot of a portion of my schematic and layout, and can attach more/provide more information if needed.

 

Thanks,

     Ah, you're onto something there! Yes, this used to be a 4 layer PCB with a plane for that net. But now I have deleted that plane. Any idea how to get the software to recognize that plane is gone and the net must now land on the top/bottom layer?
