it highlights the path of a net, so that i can get an idea of where it is going. some times i only have pads showing, other times it's about the traces.... they call it shadow mode and they darken the other traces by an amount I configure, of course different for each purpose, and they have a flag to make it not apply to the active layer. net translucency with three options current net translucency, active layer translucency, and other layer translucency maybe a color transform? where current net affects that net on what ever layer it is on, the active layer that sets the other objects on the active layer that are not part of your net, and other layer for the other layers objects that are not on the same net. essentially its a nicer way of implementing F key > John Griessen > -- > Ecosensory Austin TX > > > _______________________________________________ > geda-user mailing list > [email protected] > http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
