Re: [PEDA] How to highlight the Net in different colors in 99SE
If you select Tools|Preferences then the Display tab, there's a checkbox for 'Use Net Color For Highlight'. To set the net colours, on the 'Browse PCB' tab select 'Nets' on the dropdown. Scroll to the required net and click the Edit button. This brings up a Net Properties dialog where you can set the net colour. Once this is done, select both nets and the tracks will be highlighted in their own colours. Note that the highlight colour is the same for all layers, so not every 'near miss' will be genuine but it does help track them down.

Re: [PEDA] How to highlight the Net in different colors in 99SE
It seems as if this doesn't work in DXP. I checked 'Use Net Color For Highlight' and edited the color of a few nets, but when I highlight them they are still white. -Original Message- From: Tony Karavidas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 01, 2004 10:03 AM To: 'Protel EDA Forum' Subject: Re: [PEDA] How to highlight the Net in different colors in 99SE Andy, that's brilliant!

[PEDA] Placing Components on top of each other
I am relatively new to Protel so this is probably an easy question for you guys. I am using Protel 99SE How do I place parts on top of one another? For example I want to place a 0805 resistor underneath a Radio module on the same side of the board. Physically there is space but in the Rules, the Component Distance Constraint will not let me. I know that Multilayer Check will allow me to place a surface mount part underneath a through hole part if it is on the other side of the board but I want it on the same side of the board. I know the answer is obvious but I can't find it.

I know the answer is obvious but I can't find it. The simplest and probably most common solution to this, in P99SE at least, is to simply turn off the relevant component clearance rule. At least for on-line checking. You may care to leave it enabled for batch checking and then simply mark it off as being a known and checked violation in the DRC report. This is basically what I used to do with P99SE. DXP offers some improvement but there is still no ability to check for and allow a negative clearance (overlap). The method in DXP is to remove these two items from the general component clearance rule - the trick is to attempt to do this without affecting the ability to check for violations between other components (or with other components and the two you don't want to check against each other). But that is another topic.
