If selection only highlights the edge, that's probably because the Tools | Preferences | Display, "Hightlight in full" option has been turned off.
As to tracks on turned-off layers showing when the net has the focus (not selected), that happens on my system, and I think it always has -- BUT, it doesn't affect polygon tracks. Polygons of the focused net remain invisible if their layer is not displayed. I don't suppose it's possible your polygons got exploded to primitives? (BTW, I did a complete re-install of Protel a couple days ago, but kept my old .rcs, so my system SHOULD be reasonably "clean".) > -----Original Message----- > From: Brad Velander > Sent: Monday, March 04, 2002 6:28 PM > > If I select items, I get a highlight showing only a very thin > highlight around the periphery of the item selected.
