The violations detail is also included right on the Messages panel but it doesn't show the specific highlight as does the PCB panel Jerry noted. That would be a nice addition.
Why are people asking DXP questions on the PEDA list? You'll probably get more answers on the DXP list. -----Original Message----- From: Fisher, Jerry [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 02, 2003 11:25 AM To: 'Protel EDA Forum' Subject: Re: [PEDA] Highlighting DRC violations in DXP? In the PCB panel select rules from the drop down, select a rule class, double click on a violation. A single click will highlight it the double click opens the familiar details window.

Hey all, Really silly question here, but how exactly do I go about highlighting design rules violations in the PCB editor in DXP? This seems to function a little differently than in 99SE... I can generate the DRC okay, and see all of the violations display in the MESSAGES window, and click on them to get the screen to recenter approximately onto whichever feature is causing the problem, but I still have to go right-clicking through on all of the objects to find one that includes a VIOLATIONS sub-menu, where I can finally hilight the error. This does little good, because you still have to hunt down the piece! In 99SE you could just click the rule error and then click Jump and/or Hilight and it would flash which object it was talking about on the screen. Is there a way to do this in DXP? The help files seem rather confusing on this subject. Am I just missing something stupid?
