How to solve the via shorting issue?

Vish7

One of the via showing an unintended connection to GND plane. Please see the following picture.

My intention is to disconnect this via from GND plane and connect it to VDD_CORE plane. I have tried to delete and create a new via, still via is connecting to GND. How to fix this issue? 

PCB Designer version - 17.2

 

EDIT


I understand that "Assign net to via" is an option to change the via net property. When I try for that option, it is not available for me.!!

  • When you start the add connect process check the Find Filter to see what entities are set for selection.  I would bet that you have "Shapes" selected, if so deselect that button and verify that you have "Clines" button selected.   Once that is done use the cursor to select the end point of the escape trace to add the via.

    I would also look into adding to your loaded SKILL programs the change via by netname script.  

    I hope this helps.

  • you need to make sure to select the via.

    then if the menu does not show up, you can type via assign net in the command line.

  • you could copy/paste a via that's already attached to the net that you want. Be sure that "retain net of vias" is selected. that's the easy way
