How do you connect SMS pads to copper areas in ultiboard?

I have a TQFN part with multiple pads. I want to connect the pads to a copper area I have defined. I gave the copper area the same net number by using properties/vonnect to net. Now the rats nest lead from the pin (net 22) goes to the copper area but everytime I try to connect a line to the area it makes a clearance. I can't figure out how to connect the pin to the copper area. I don't want to use vias. Suggestions?

Press the CTRL key while you move the mouse pointer on top of the pad and at the end of the pop-up label you'll see to which net it is assigned, now do the same to the Copper Area just to confirm that it is indeed assign to that net as well. If both are the same net it should connect without voiding.

Otherwise post your file here so we can check it out, if you don't want to post your file, you may instead contact support.
