Feature Request

When I use wire highlight command (H hotkey) in PCB editor, the editor area scrolls. I do not know why and for what purpose but it is very inconvenient - I need restore scroll position every time after highlight.
Also it will be great to add similar highlight opportunity in the Schematic Editor.

You can highlight a net in a PCB and in a Schematic using the right hand Properties panel:

enter image description here

The view will auto-scroll to fit as much of the net into the available browser window area as possible however, the view will not auto-zoom.

Thanks about properties pane sugest. But sometimes it is not very usable.

Regarding H-command: I choose the viewing area so that I could see entire net. But after the command execution I see only one element of the net. Scrolling has spoiled visibility.

The H-command is the same codes with the Design manage, for design manage, if we don't scroll, may the users can't see the objects.

@Trolsoft at your case, we do don' need to change. Will add this to feature, maybe need some time, we are too busy.
Thanks

Ok, but I have a case:
I want to test my PCB for errors. I have set up workspace and zoom so that the entire PCB was visible. After that I highlight different nets.
As a result I have:

  1. After selecting a net the workspace scrolls. What for??? Prior to this, on the screen, I could see the entire PCB. After viewing the network I can only see part of it.
  2. Often as a result of the scroll, I no longer see the entire highlighted net. Part of highlighted net out of scope!

If you want, I can take screenshots.

As a result, I am constantly having to scroll the area to its original state. That is, it reduces the usability of zero :)

And this problem is not related to the implementation of new features. I think that it is better absolutely no scrolling on highlight than a buggy. But, this is your product and you may have a different opinion on this matter.

Thanks

This is a real pain for me also. This happens even when I have the entire board visible. An option to turn this off would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

And I found another serious bug related with this. Once the H-command has made scrolling I have to return it to its original location. And sometimes when I do it is with keyboard then instead of scrolling the software moves the various components on the board. Moreover, these components are sometimes visible on the screen at the moment. And what's more, I can not undo this movement with "Undo" command! These move operation is not stored on the undo-stack.

So, I can only back to scroll the screen with the mouse / touchpad, and it is very inconvenient.

@Trolsoft v3.5.6 changed the scrolling behavior with H-command. Is that what you expect?

YEs, now autoscroll works correct for me. Thanks a lot!
