Schematic net highlighting control

CADcasualty
CADcasualty over 4 years ago

In the schematic display options form there are 3 controls for fine tuning net highlighting - Dynamic Highlighting (on/off), Dynamic Net Highlighting (on/off) and Connect by Name Highlighting (on/off). I like the first two to be on but the last one to be off because it's just too visually jarring and disruptive while moving my mouse around. In my .cdsinit I can control the first two using the following commands:

envSetVal("schematic" "symDynamicHilightOn" 'boolean t)
envSetVal("schematic" "schDynamicNetHilightOn" 'boolean t)

however I'm darned if I can find any way to define the last one. Any ideas?

I also saw an earlier post that referenced an envSetVal command that tweaked schDynamicNetHilightNoIslands - I couldn't see that in the documentation. What does that do? Thanks.

    Hi,

    I think the setting you need is: 

    envSetVal("schematic" "schDynamicNetHilightNoIslands" 'boolean t)

    (or possibly the 'nil' setting?)

    Best regards,

    Lawrence.
