Potentials, signals, and nets can be temporarily highlighted in color to provide a quick overview of their extent. The currently-selected potential, signal, or net is then colored according to the colors you defined in the user settings.
The highlighting of potentials is described below; signals and networks can be highlighted in the same manner using the View > Signal tracking or View > Net tracking menu items.
Precondition:
You have defined the color to be used to highlight the signal, potential, or net in the user settings (Options > Settings > User > Graphical editing > 2D, then the Track potential drop-down list).
- Select the following menu items: View > Potential tracking
- Click a connection symbol or a connection line.
EPLAN searches for the associated potential, and colors this completely (i.e., even across page boundaries). - Click another connection. The highlighting of the first potential is removed, and the potential associated with this connection is colored.
- Select the View > Potential tracking menu options a second time. The highlighting of the potential is removed.
Notes:
- Color highlights for potentials, signals, or nets can only be removed when the connections are active. Please note that the potential data is only written to the connections during a project-wide update of the connections. In the case of a page change, only the connection data is updated.
- Once you have ended the potential, signal, or net tracking using [Esc], or Popup menu > Cancel action, you must switch the tracking off and on again once (using the View > Potential tracking menu items, for example) before you can highlight a potential, signal, or network in color once more.
