RE: [PROTEL EDA USERS]: No Net assignments on tracks & vias...

Thanks for the tip,

I was just wondering how to do this myself. I just used it to correct a
couple of vias I had floating over the nets. It work pretty well as far as I
can tell.

Let us know how it works on your board, please.  I have a board
I imported from Protel 2.8, and it made a MESS out of the entire
board.  Almost 75% of the tracks were labeled wrong!  One net
(randomly selected) would take over 50% of the actual nets on
the board.  A complete jumble!  I am still wondering if it is
something I did, something peculiar to the board database, or
a general problem that this function does not work right.
