just cut a small piece of trace away from the pin or via that is causing it to 
be a gnd net, leave the remaining
trace and re-connect it to the pin that you want the net to be. It has to be 
connected to gnd somewhere otherwise
it would have no netname.

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.
