How to change the rats' (net connection wire) color in Allegro PCB Editor

Alexandra

Hi,

I'm new with Allegro (16.2), I have previously usedused Orcad layout.

I could not find the menu to change the ratsnet color. Does it exist?

This usefull while routing, to identify the GND, Power or special nets.

Thanks for any suggestion.

     In the Display->Color menu.  See attached screenshot.  You have 3 kinds of rats to color in 16.2.  Previously just 1 kind.

    In 16.2 You can color nets based on net names. Under Display - Color Visibility - Stackup there is a radio button for layers and nets. If you switch to nets you can color items based on net names.

    Hi Redwire,

    Thanks a lot. It works.

    Also excellent the second reply. mentioning the radio buttons for NETS. This menu allows to change the color by net name.

    Hi Steve,

     Excellent hint, it is exactly what I was looking for.

    Steve, now I noticed the 16.2 Allegro version in your email.

    True, the radio buttons are available in the 16.2 version, but not in 16.0.

    Interesting note for designers using 16.0 or earlier, I assume.
