We have made the request with Cadence in a future release that you can
assign a netname to a via. They have not agreed to it yet but it may
appear in a future release. If the via is assigned a netname then it
would keep that name in export subdrawing. We are asking for it to
work with defining B/B vias in a pattern and then copy the pattern
with it keeping the correct net names.

Hi Ismail,
I did that and the planes retain their net names with no problem. But,
the vias drop their net association.
Thanks for the reply,
Mark

Hi Mark,
While Export-Subdrawing, goto the "options" tab in the control panel
and check the "Preserve nets of shapes" is enabled.
Try , hope this helps.
Thanks,

*Subject:* [PCB_FORUM] Allegro Sub drawing / Via stitch problem
Hello all,
When Exporting a Sub-Drawing I found that any vias in a shape used for
stitching...connected to a shape, but has no traces to a pin...looses
connectivity and sometimes connect to a different plane after import
sub-drawing.
The only way I have found to fix it is to ALSO route a trace from a
pin to the via to force the connection.
Is there a way to locate any occurrences of this prior to exporting a
Sub-Drawing?
Thought maybe dangling wire reporting as dangling via...but a Dangling
via is defined a a via with only one connection from a pin. These vias
simply dropped in a shape for thermal reasons do not get flagged.
Any thoughts as to how to find them in a design?
Thanks,
Mark
