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. |

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. |

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. |
