With PADS Professional VX.2.7, users will notice visual enhancements to aid in design efficiency. From display controls, designers can toggle on the display of net names on pin pads and vias. This update also allows for an improvement to Color by net or class. When objects are colored with Color by Net or Class, designers can toggle on “Use Object Color as Pattern Background” from display control to allow the color of the object to be used as the background. This helps retain the ability to determine the layers on which those objects are placed.
