Preserving Routed Traces from getting deleted

Hello All ,

I want to preserve routed traces while deleting a component from schematic . Is it possible ?

For example ,

I have routed four signals through resistor Array to some IC .

Now if I delete the resistor array from schematic and do ECO , then the routes gets removed .

Can such routes get preserved from getting deleted when a part is removed from schematic ?

Is it possible that only part gets removed / deleted and routed traces remains as it is in PADS layout ?

Please help .
