Is there a way to make the rat lines of certain nets disappear?

Say I am placing IC components and I want only to see the signal nets but not
the VCC or Ground nets.  How can I do this?  How can I select certain nets to
have invisible rat lines?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

Allan

     Never mind, I found it.  I can edit the property of a net called "No_rat" and set it to true.  later, I will have to remember to remove this property on the nets I modified.

    You can also go up to Display, then look at the bottom of the bottom window, Show/Blank Rats.  You can select all or Net.  I usually blank the power nets as you've described, then when finished go back up to display, Show Rats, All.
