how to set flight line that is just indicating the connections about the node on schematic

For example..

(1) I point a node, and then hit any key

(2) Colorful lines fly to all the nodes connected to it (It's not actual wire..it only show the connection info) : "flight line"

(3) I point another node and hit any key

(4) additional new "flight line"

(5) hit another key, disappear all

I always use "view" --> "net highlighting". It's good but I want to keep that trajectory even after removing the pointer.

Thanks

    Sorry, I explain about what I want again.

    1. pointing test<0> - left image
    2. hit some key 
    3. indicating the connections - center image 
    4. point test<3> and hit some key
    5. added new one - right image
    6. hit another reset key, disappear the indicating lines - left image

    Thanks

    There have been some requests to make the dynamic net highlighting "sticky" so that it gets retained after moving the cursor away from the wire, or to add similar highlighting between regions of nets when using probing. I see some CCRs on this - some of which have been marked validated but they don't seem to be in the released tools that I can see - so I'll check with R&D this morning.

    There is Options->DIsplay->Show Direct Connections, but I rather doubt that's what you want.

    Yes, you explained well what I'd like to say than me, but the "Show Direct Connections" is not something I want...

    I checked with R&D, and the validated enhancements were for a internal project that was just a prototype of how this might work, not the final implementation. That's not planned at the moment, but could potentially be prioritised if there is greater demand for it (it's not a trivial amount of work). Please contact customer support and request a duplicate of CCR 2016608 is filed on your behalf.

    Thanks,

    Andrew
