Its not a setting, but it ought to be possible to hack something in
autoroute.c to persuade it.
A quick glance (but I'm by no means familiar with this quite complex
code), suggests that you might take a look at "AddPin" where pins from
the net-list are added to the auto-routing structures.
...
/* a pin cuts through every layer group */
for (i = 0; i < max_group; i++)
{
...
}
...
(Fix that up with an appropriate kludge to suit your group numbering for
a quick test)
e.g., a minimal delta which might work is changing the for loop to:
for (i = my_group_number; i == my_group_number; i++)
{
...
}
Or:
do
{
i = my_group_number;
...
}
while (0); /* NB: The loop body will still execute once */
