Schematic pin highlight

SimhanAnalog
SimhanAnalog 9 months ago

In schematic I use keyboard shortcut 9 to highlight nets/ports(with wires) etc. But in a schematic I am not able to highlight a pin of another symbol which doesn't have a wire coming out. Is there a way to highlight it. Example below. Though both AVDD_1V_REG_DIG and DATA_OUT are no connects. I am able to highlight the DATA_OUT since it has a wire. While the highlight doesnt work on AVDD_1V_REG_DIG since there is no wire and it is directly the pin of the symbol view.

Also I observed that when I highlight a pin(that doesn't have a wire) then I need to zoom in and highlight a corner of the pin. Anywhere on the pin doesn't work. This is not a big issue. But if it can be fixed then it will be useful. Also highlighting the name of the pin doesn't work. Though when I hover over the name it hovers over the arc.

But when there is a wire connecting to the pin. Anywhere on the pin works. Only if there is no wire I need to zoom in and click on a corner. Highlighting name of the pin doesn't work even when there is a wire.

    If this was urgent, you should contact customer support.

    Note that there have been some improvements with probing which are coming in the next release, but not sure if it covers what you are saying here...
