Or instead of trying to change how the ratsnests are displayed because they are laying on top of each other, instead have the user hover over the overlapping of nets and a popup appears showing what nets there are kind of like a magnifying glass, would probably be better if this magnifying glass is

That pretty much the way I see it. Being able to configure the ratsnest lines make life easier for very complex boards. Wayne On 2/13/19 7:06 PM, Brian Piccioni wrote: > Wayne > > On reflection it occurred to me that being able to vary the width of a > ratsnest by net (or perhaps netclass) may

Wayne On reflection it occurred to me that being able to vary the width of a ratsnest by net (or perhaps netclass) may provide additional utility to being able to vary colour by net. Like bolding of text, it would make certain nets stand out. For example, +5V might be red, +5V main buss might

As nothing more than an example, here is another tool facing the same issue. I've colored one net's ratsnest green (others are still blue) and you can see pins at orthogonal locations to each other get a zig (or is that a zag?) so the individual pins on the net can still be easily identified.

We probably should spin a rc2. I was planning on using Tom's GAL canvas fixes as the base line for rc2 so as soon as he gets that merged, we should start thinking about it. Hopefully this will be soon. My goal is still to get 5.1.0 out by then end of February if at all possible. On 2/13/2019 4:

Hi Wayne, Ratsnest thickness and scroll config can be added as advanced config, and proper UI introduced after 5.1 (and backported to 5.1.1 if wanted?). Cheers, John On Wed, Feb 13, 2019 at 12:50 PM Wayne Stambaugh wrote: > > I'm fine with adding a ratsnest line thickness option. I can sympat
