Prevent routing to shape on select nets

3fti

Is there an option to prevent a trace from connecting to shape of the same net? For instance, I would like to route a GND trace directly to the decoupling capacitor pad through a ground plane on the same layer. Then connect to an internal ground plane through another trace from the same pad.

    Yes - add a property to the cline called void_same_net.

    So interestingly this only works once and a while. I right select the cline and bring up the property window. I add the void_same_net property (which is often default set to true), apply it, and nothing happens with the exception of a couple of times. I can't seem to figure out why it doesn't always stick. Any ideas?

    I assume it has something to do with a competing property from the shape?

    Try a shape update (or Force update the shapes) to see this take affect
