Is it normal that allegro 16.6 "add connect" action doesn't allow drawing track paths as you want?

EuSV

I'm trying to draw tracks from one net pad to other pad/via of the same net (they are connected electrically = rastnets). But when adding connect action, I'm unable of tracing the track making a correct way.

I have seen/read at several tutorials and videos about tracks, that I can create track segments, and then turning left, going stright or turning right by clicking left mousse button after every segment.. until arriving to the target point.

Why I'm unable of doing this? Why is the CAD the path that it wants making a mess in my layout?

It is forcing track paths that are breaking all the design rules, so connecting points that must be unconnected. Even it starts painting at points where there is no electrical connection (pad, pin, via, etc..).

I have this configuration for my current "add connector" action:

I also tried with bubble = OFF.

Is it something wrng? how can I control my track path when painting it from starting point to a second point?

    To stop routes that start from an open area you need to tick the user preference "acon_disable_nullnet_route" under Route/Connect menus :  

    After that make sure that pins and vias are selected in the find filter when you have started the route command.

    If you don't want to disturb existing routes then choose "Hug Only" under bubble.
