Pad assign color

Adeshere over 15 years ago

Hello,

I assigned a color to a pad, but now i want them back to the layer color.

How do i do this ?

Depending on version the name of action changes but the action does not...
Highlight->Pin to assign a color to a specific pin,pad
Dehilight->Pin to return to the layer color
Highlight became "Assign Color" for some mysterious reason in 16.x revs

Hello,
I have the following options
Assign color
Highlight
Dehihglight

Highlight and dehighlight work as expected.
Its when i use 'Assign color' the pad changes to the new color for ALL layers !!
I'm guessing there is a tick box somewhere, probably in the color dialog window, but i cant find it

Eventually i found the tick box ( Why do theymake it so difficult )
In the Color Dialog under the Nets option, there is a box 'Disable Custom Colors'.
Placing a tick in this box reverts all to their layer colors instead of assigned colors.
