How to get a better display when use "show" command highlight a wire or a part?

Hello!

 

In the schematic editor of EAGLE, "show"  is one of most commonly used commands, but it is not very clear when a wire or a part that be highligt or not highligt.

 

how to set colors can get better effect ?

 

someone think if it can be flash on highlight object would be better. maybe it is difficult for eagle .

 

在使用 show 命令时,原理图中元件、连线的高亮对比并不明显,如何设置可以得到明显的对比效果呢?

 

当然,如果能够使show的对象闪烁最好。

    Making an object flash when it is highlighted by command SHOW? It's really a good idea, but it seems EAGLE does not support it, I think you need a ULP to make that function happen.

    As of now, I don't think it is possible to highlight different nets with different colors or even change the colors what EAGLE highlights with. In an ULP, you can use only the show command which will again use the standard colors for highlighting. If you need to highlight an entire class of nets, there is an ULP called "showclass.ulp" which highlights the nets belonging to a certain class.

         Probably you could play around with the  black/white background in the schematic or board. For example: the highlighted nets show up much brighter on a white background than a black one on the board.

     

    Best Regards,

    Jaya
