Using the Differential Pairs Colours Tab
This tab is used to allow differential pairs to be displayed in their own colour and to control the display of connections on a given differential pair, independent of the global connections display option.
If you check the Use Own Colour option alongside a differential pair name, all items on this differential pair will be drawn in the colour shown in the Colour column. This is useful for highlighting specific differential pairs that you want to work on.
The Display Connection option forces the connections for the given differential pair on, even when the global option for connections is off. This is useful when routing differential pairs.
Note: the Context Menu on this dialog allows you to apply the current value to all differential pairs using the usual Apply to entire Column.
The priority order for use of the own colour for a connection is differential pair, signal path, sub net and net.
For individual differential pairs, these options can also be set through the Properties dialog.
