How to Apply Net Class Clearance Rule to NC Pad?

[crasic]

I think there is a change from 5.0

in 5.1 and 6.0 (master) when a pin is given a net name but is not connected,

this does not translate to PCB pad

When routing BGA breakout, I try to apply a “tighter” rule to the BGA connected nets by using a BGA net class, however the NC pads prevent breakout routing

I can explicitly connect the net by adding a trace and via

However, I would like to avoid doing this.

Besides setting a smaller default clearance, is there a way to assign a net class to these unconnected, but named, nets?

There is a switch in the schematic to board updater (also I think in netlist import but I didn’t double check) that will ignore single pin nets.

Check to see if that is off?
