Problem with Assigning ground net names in Capture: AGRD and DGRD

I have two different grounds on capture, one for the digital part of my board and another for the analogue part. When trying to assign the corresponding ground net I have problems with that .. In the grund net property sheet, under the name column there appears the two named grounds on the drop down menu: AGRD and DGRD. Changing the property to DGRD (the digital ground) can be changed but not saved in the design. It revrts back to the analogue ground .. also when I go to pcb editor there is only one ground net (AGRD). Is this suppose to be like this or am I missing something .. I am tryig to split the one ground plane to digital and analogue .. Can someone lead me to a solution .. Thanks !!!

You have the two nets shorted at some point, or points, in the schematic(s) and therefore have a single net. Capture will pick "a" net name from the assigned net names for the netlist export to PCB Editor. IF you want the nets connected "at some point" you will need to use a component to do this.
