Hi,

When editing or routing a net, is there any provision to highlight that net, instaed of highlighting manualy.

This is very usefull when lot connections exist. If not available please consider it as a future request.

Also adding testland via to soldermask output when vias are not included in output.

Thanks,

I was just about to add this (auto-highlighting) as a request myself, so seconded. It would be handy if it could automatically highlight the net as you went to create/edit the track and automatically deselect it when you've finished. Like Peter says, you can use shortcut keys to do it manually but I find myself doing it quite regularly and it would be great if it was fully automatic as it is in Eagle and Altium (where it is accompanied by groovy fade in/fade out). As it is automating existing functionality, surely not a big request ?

There's no provision for automatic highlight, but <Ctrl+H> will highlight the currently selected net, which should save some time.

I'll add a user request for an option to include/exclude testlands separately from vias in the plotting and printing setup.
