Changing The Color of A Net (PCB)

If you have some critical nets that you need to highlight to better visualize where they are running, Altium has a way to do this, though not terribly obvious:


There are two ways to access this:


  • On the left hand side of the interface, you have the panes that have the tabs on the bottom
  • like Files, Projects, Navigator, etc
  • Click on the "PCB" tab

or

  • Use the "shortcut" VWPP

Once you're there:



  • There will be a default <All Nets> class that you can click on to see all nets. If you have a large project, it really makes it easier if you have created net classes to help you organize the nets.
  • Select all the nets that you want to change, right click on them and select "Change Net Color" 
  • Select a really bright "neon" color so that they're easier to see (try to avoid green since Altium defaults to green for it's violation warnings)
