Help on Hilite net

We don't have a regular hilite net, we have is similar a "hilite net" tool using vxl probe. I would like to use a regular "hilite net" without using vxl or a "hilite net" that can be use for vxl and regular layout.

    I'm not sure what you mean by "Hilite net", because as far as I know, there's no command called that. There's a "probe" command (either in Verify->Probe, or Connectivity->XL Probe).

    Your question is really very unclear. Please try to be precise when asking questions, because otherwise we have to guess what you're really asking, and that's not very efficient.

    I'm not sure what you mean by "how do you change the layers"? If you use Connectivity->Mark Net and then hit F3, you have the ability to change the layers used for marking the nets - if you turn off "Cycle through System Colors Automatically" you can choose the mark net colour. Also, perhaps you mean which layers in the layout get traversed? This is controlled by the "Via Layers used by Mark Net", which you can change to "Select Via Layers" and then you have a form to control this. It's seeded from the tech file though.

    As I said, I don't really know what you're asking here - so the above is guesswork as to what your question might actually be.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
