How to highlight net classes

HWDesigner

Is there a way to highlight the classes of nets defined in the constraint manager?

Ideal would to assign a color to these groups of nets, but a temporary highlight would be acceptable as well.

     You can assing color's to bnetclasses. This is documented in Cadence ONline Support Solution 11666690

    1.  Have Constraint Manager open.
    2.  Select the Assign Color icon or Display > Assign Color
    3.  Select the color you want to assign to the class in the Options tab
    4.  In Constraint Manager, left mouse select the class to highlight it and then use the right mouse button Select to add the color to the nets.

    All nets in the class will be assigned the color you selected in step 3. Repeat steps 3 and 4 to assign different colors to other nets or classes of nets

    If I got you correctly...you wanna know how to easily assign a color/highlight a certain predefined net group(property)---

    try this, goto 'Find' window, under 'Find By Name' click More...then, on 'Object type:' dropdown select 'Property', your pre assigned group should be available. By selecting a certain group set and apply ok, this will select all the nets belonged to that group. Then, you can either 'Highlight' or 'Assign Color' to these selected nets.

    Hope this would help. 8-P
