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.

    Hi Andrew,

    maybe the hilite net skill code was in-house from my previous company. it's similar to xl probe. but i thought cadence have a hilite net built in in virtouso.

    here's a desciption of the hilite net i'm used to:

    - it does work for vxl and regular layout and it can be use for schematic as well.

    - it's similar to xl probe but it can be used for regular layout. for example, when you open a layout not using vxl and want to trace a signal, it will trace the signal by "high lighting" the trace, similar to xl probe. and it does go down or up the hierarchy as long as it's connected, same with xl probe.

    - so the difference between xl probe and hilite net is, hilite net can be used for regular and vxl layout.
