How can you move/stretch schematic wires WITHOUT Virtuoso rerouting everything and making a mess?

I did try searching for this answer, but got lost in the zillions of search results so I thought I'd try here... I have a schematic that I've carefully and neatly laid out. If I edit it to do things like move instances or select regions of wires to stretch (all with wire rubber-banding in play) then Virtuoso steps in after I unclick my mouse and pretty much destroys my schematic layout with it's subsequent auto-routing. I realize some of this is to prevent errors like different wires landing on top of each other etc., however I've spent way, way more time cleaning up after some truly visually disgusting autoroutes that I'd rather always live with the danger of any errors I might create during my moving and stretching. Is there a way to configure Virtuoso to just take all the vertices and instances contained in my selection rectangle and yield straight line point to point wiring after I've done my edit? Bonus points if there's an optional way to constrain the movement of the selected set to be only in the X or Y direction. Thanks.
