No, when I try to attach it in any way it either jumps out of the way.  GRIN  
 
Or If I do force it to go to a pin, I get DRC errors.  
 
This seems like such a simple thing, yet I cannot find a way to do it.  Change 
and Edit do not seem to cover it.  
 
It would even be easy to group grab the whole thing and then do a "change," but 
I do not see any change command to cover this.  I can change width, or layer 
(subclass) but not net.  I can change the nets of shapes... but not clines.  Is 
this right?

As a workaround, can you just connect it to a part with the proper net?  It 
might matter where you start (the cline or the part).
 
Either way, it would be good to know if there is a "change" command that would 
allow such a change.

 I have a trace (cline) that exists in a design that after a logic import 
(loaded new netlist) the trace reverted to ground.  I want to use that existing 
route.  
 
Is there a way to change a particular cline to a new net?   The net does exist 
in the design... I am just trying to avoid ripping up the trace and basically 
following it again.  I intentionally did not rip it up when I imported the new 
net, just for this reason.
