Highlight entire route on 2D board to illuminate all traces for circuit

Is there a way to click on a trace in the 2D PCB, and have it highlight all the traces that have that circuit name.

Example: I want to check all of the components on my board and see where my 5V line is connecting to each component.

Hello @mad.macs,

you can use the show function:

You can also use the commend line with more than one signal:

show +5v gnd

and the signals are highlighted

Thanks! it would be a great tool for them to add to the Analyze toolbox. Hover over a trace with the cursor and it would highlight the trace, it would be kind of like dragging a continuity tester across them in the real word.

Apparently you can just type in show, and it will highlight whatever you drag it across. Neat
