Joe Mr Lomax had a method to do this as a 'virtual short', a feature now supported in DXP called 'net ties'. If you browse the archive you will find it. But if this is a once only route, then you may find it less time intensive just to do this route by hand. Have you tried defining the 'from to' topology and applying a width rule with filter set to from-to? Just an idea. Best Regards John A.
