Filtering out some net

Layout

If i want to route grnd, for ex., how can i filter it only, in the way that
i can see only grnd nets on pcb?
The same for some other net.
Otherwise it should be to tricky to routing circuit.

I don’t know which version you are using. I’m using the development version, so pre5. In routing when I click on a net it highlights everything in that net. I know displaying only single nets has been discussed but I don’t think it is planned at this point.

Version is 4.0.7
There should be some way to work only on one net.
If i want to route GND first, as recommanded, i must know where it is and not search pin by pin.

I haven’t used that version since October when I switched to the developer’s build. I thought it would highlight the net you are routing in that version also. If not, I don’t think there is another option until version 5 comes out where the action is as I describe it.

Also, are you using Legacy canvas. I just tried that and noticed the highlighting is very weak in that. Go to view and choose OpenGL canvas or press F11.

I’m not sure what you are working on that says you should route ground first. Many just use a ground plane. I put that in first so I don’t see the ‘rats’ from it which helps a bit since there are so many of them.

Maybe i’ll have to change my habits; i’m used to Orcad, in wich you can show nets you desire work with.
