How to stop blinking schematic net when its probed

Hi,

When I am probing certain net in Schematic design, it keeps on flashing. Can anyone tell me how to stop it ?

Also, is there way to increase thickness of net when its probed ?

Thanks

    Do you really mean probing or do you mean selection? Please describe which menu you're using to do the job - precisely what you're doing. Just to be sure, which IC version are you talking about?

    This is almost certainly just a matter of changing the right display packet definition in the display.drf - but I'd like to ensure that we give you the right guidance,

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    I am talking about probing and not about selection. I m doing Create- > Probe -> Add net. I am using ICAD12.2.

    OK, that normally would be using the layer purposes y0/drawing through to y9/drawing. 

    You can use the Display Resource Editor (from the Tools menu in the CIW) to alter the colour/blink/width etc of these layer-purpose-pairs.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
