Assign Colors to Different Nets

archive
archive over 20 years ago

Does anyone know how to assign colors to different nets? I want to distinguish differential pairs from other signals by using a different color. Please advise.

    go to color and select the Display group at the top left. Set the Permanent highlight color to whatever you want. Using the Highlight command with the Find Filter, highlight the nets you want to see in that color. Now change the permanent highlight color and continue the process with another group of nets. Under Setup User Preferences, check out under the Display folder the variable display_nohilitefont as to different ways Allegro will highlight a net.

    if you leave your cursor on the variable during Setup User Preferences, it will show what the varible does in the Summary Description below.
