Thank you Matija, but now I can not see any voids in the plane.

distance between lines you see is controlled with another parameter and it allso specifies at the same time the PRINT DENSITY going to the plot function.
(nice shape density to correctly print into pdf docs is 17)

 

 

controls are:

set/unset:

display_nohilitefont   - controls you have stripes enabled or not (whole design, in no opengl mode)

no_shape_fill        - when set yull see outlines and voids of shapes only.

new_shape_fill_nt     -  this is the one you have to set to have dosts instead of lines

old_shape_fill_style    - even older display mode

 

value:

 

display_shapefill=17       17 for print to pdf, 3,4,5,6,7,8 are pretty usable for layout

best regards,

Hi Mike,
You are absolutely right on all accounts. I guess I would like the "Best of both worlds"?

With Open GL Disabled,  displays my solid positive plane as seen below. (Not good)
With OpenGL Enabled, there is really nice transparency, solid planes...everything is great except..... no "Candy Striping".
Looks to me like it is broken.
I go back and forth depending on planes or highlighted nets. Kind of disheartening.

Thanks for your reply. Much appreciated.

Regards,
Mark

Hi Mark,

 

If you disable OpenGL and unset DISPLAY_NOHILITEFONT you should be able to see the old "candy stripe" type of highlighting when using the Highlight command from the Display Menu.

 

The Highlight command from the Display Menu will only highlight items based on the Temporary highlight settings (one color).

 

The Assign Color command from the Display Menu will function like the Highlight command by checking "Highlight pattern" under the Options Tab.

 

The key is to disable OpenGL to get the old "candy stripe" type of highlighting and checking "Highlight pattern" under the Options Tab while in Assign Color to get the type of highlighting you were use to seeing.

 

Hope this helps,

Mike Catrambone

We have Allegro 16.3
The assign color hilights a net, but I can not see the original trace color.
I have selected and de selected the Setup / User Preferences / Display /
Hilight display_nohighlightfont setting.
In previous versions, I could set up to see a dashed line on a hilighted
nets original color.
I also tried disabling OpenGL. Same result.

Thanks,
  Mark
