[PCB_FORUM] Re: How to make different colors for different nets

You can also create a "group" of nets and hilite the groups.
Use shadow mode to make them stand out. I also use filled pads and do not select nohilightfont in Setup / Preferences / Display. 

Regards,
Mark

    Hi Alan,

          Thanks for your comments. How about if for tens of nets? Do
    I have to manually highlight the net and change "permanent
    highlight color" one by one for so many nets? Is there any some
    like automatic function?

    Use the "permanent highlight" function.  This allows selection of
    specific colors and then you can highlight nets with various
    colors.  I frequently use this for power/ground nets so I can
    quickly glance at a board and make sure shapes on my divided
    planes cover the correct pins/vias.

    Hi Group,


          I have seen some allegro database which had different
    highlight colors for different nets. It seems highlight was used.
    You know, in some condition, it's easier to make the layout clear
    by using different color for different nets. I'm interested in how
    to do it easily in allegro. Could anybody help me?


    Thanks,

    Michael
