is there something like "Net Highlighting" in the layout?

The closest thing I can find is Display Controls --> Nets.

    Hello,

    When you clikc on a net in the Navigator Assistant it should automatically highlight the net (you can control the behavior with Options > Highlight).

    The Display COntrols > Nets would show all the flightlines, not sure this is what you want.

    You can also try Connectivity > Nets > XL probe.

    If you can precise your need that would be easier for me to suggest the right command to use.

    Thanks,

    Alex

    Hi, Thanks for the suggestion.
    I am expecting similar behavior like "Net Highlighting" in the schematic, i.e., when we hover our mouse from a pin, it shows the connections so I can navigate the routing when the layout is large enough.
    Regarding the Navigator Assistant, I have just checked it and it seems it is almost what I need.
    I will try to utilize it in the next layout.
