Hello Diptrace Team!
If I choose "Highlight Net" in Layout Editor, the net will be displayed dashed. OK, kind of "highlighting"...
But if I then choose "Mirror", the highlighting disappears. I returns when I choose "Mirror" again....
and so on.
Can you verify this?
Regards
Andree
No Net Highlighting in Mirror Mode
Re: No Net Highlighting in Mirror Mode
Yeah, it looks like "Highlight Net" needs a little more work as it also throws parts of the highlighted trace off the PCB when mirrored. See the attached video contained in the zip folder below...
p.s. I just added a demonstration PCB file.

Hi
Has this been fixed? Because I have a PCB in Mirror mode, then select Highlight Net and the Highlight is offset.
Thanks
Mike

Re: No Net Highlighting in Mirror Mode
This is why I like this forum, people do things I don't use and I have to find out why. I don't use mirroring since all my final work is checked at the Gerber level since that is what the board is made from. I did look at the use of mirroring in Print Preview, good job on that interface DT, the scaling, move, stretch all work into a very flexible user interface but since I no longer use my circuit board printer I've never used printing from DipTrace.
I couldn't find any use of the Mirror function for anything else than printing.

Re: No Net Highlighting in Mirror Mode
When looking at the Bottom layer it helps to flip the view to make sure all of the reference designators for back-loaded components have the correct orientation. For me, it clears up any visual confusion. I assigned the hotkey combination "[Shift]" + "f" to the Mirror command to make this task easy. The annunciator at the bottom-right of the Design Area will confirm whether or not the view is mirrored...I couldn't find any use of the Mirror function for anything else than printing...
