One would expect it to do so. That command must analyze all nets for connection to free primitives, whereas otherwise the Synchronizer can ignore the physical routing. Note that one needs to update the extra primitives only once, when the footprint is originally placed and synchronized. The nets are retained with subsequent loads, just as they are with free primitives. Of course, if you change a net assigned to a complex pad, you will need to re-synchronize. I'm really leaning toward the use of multiple pads (same pad name) to build complex pads, instead of non-pad primitives, since, as long as the synchronizer is used, everything is handled automatically.
