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。

    Hello,

     

    you could either use the SHOW command with the @ option in order to find an object, or you could define a bright highlight color. The SHOW command can look like this:  SHOW @ IC1   In this case EAGLE will draw a pointer to the object and draw a rectangle around it.

    For defining another highlight color go to the Options/Set/Color menu and change the color settings. For details please take a look into the EAGLE manual, chapter 5, Color Settings.

     

    Hope this helps.

    Regards,

    Richard

    maybe I didn't explain my real means, sorry.

     

    I want show a wire or net or component between the board editor and schematic editor. do not to find some element.

     

    In board editor, all is ok, because I use black color background; but in schematic editor, I use white color as backgound, so the highligh isn't easy to view, contrast is not strong.

     

    I am not good in the color selection, not have vision problem image

     

     

    btw, since often check between the schematic and board,  once I switch different sheet of schematic, the SHOW command will stop. I feel here is a bad operating.

    You mean you want to make a strong contrast between the highlighted objects and non-highlighted ones in a schematic with white color background?
