    Check to make sure your running the latest 16.5 Hotfix, also check Constraint Manager - Physical Rules and vialist's and also routing allowed on that layer...

    Go to Help - About there is a code - Cadence issue hotfixes (software patches) approx. once every two weeks. These include new features as well as bug fixes. If your code is 16.5-p00 something then this is the base release (first issued version) so I would recommend getting the latest hotfix for 16.5 from cadence or your channel partner and trying again. You could also look at the other suggestions I made if you can't access this.
