Narrative:
Traffic departed cmh on runway heading. This is the normal procedure. I gave the aircraft direct air leaving 110 and routed it in the machine. Due to an automation problem that I was unaware of; the routing of air took out J34 after air; giving the aircraft air..sharr instead of air.J34.sharr. The aircraft flew J34 after air and ZOB expected him to turn direct sharr instead. Recommendation; I should have looked at uret to confirm that the amendment didn't change the filed route. I cannot say for certain that I would have caught a minor change as that. This is something that needs to be changed on the automation level. Under no circumstances should routing an aircraft direct to a fix change the routing after that fix. Just a workaround or remembering which fixes can not be routed direct is not enough.
