I have another feature request, or if someone can point out how to do it, all the better.

When laying out a PCB, show only the connections for the net which is currently being routed.

At the early stages of a design, there are far too many overlapping connections lines, so it is impossible to know which pads to take a trace to without going to pads and looking at the error indications.

I typically design PCB's 460*12mm, so most connections overlap.

Thanks, that does help a little bit, although it is tedious changing the color then changing it back again afterwards.

I have created a key assignment for now to slightly speed up the process.

2 suggestions which may help you.

1) Settings => Design Tech => Nets then toggle (Yes/No) "Show Connections" column on nets of interest, (or change colour of net).

2) PCB editor. Select net, then right click for dropdown menu, then Nets, then Change Net Colour.
