![]() The feature is now activated.ģ) Create a shortcut for Reposition Selected Components. If you only have one monitor, I suggest splitting the screen vertically by right-clicking the tab area and choose Split Vertical.Ģ) Click Tool and select Cross Select Mode. PCB file on my main screen and schematic sheet on the other screen. Now you know why you need to use these tools I will show you how to use them.ġ) Open your schematic and PCB file. With higher density projects, they just become a distraction. Personally, rats nests are helpful for smaller projects with fewer components. ![]() Rats nests are lines on the PCB editor that supposedly assist where you are connecting. ![]() Choosing multiple components and moving them as a group makes the design process more modular and thus it is faster and more natural.Ĭross Select will enable me to disable rats nest (I hate rats nest). Reposition Selected Components will automatically grab it. They both work together like magic.Ĭross Select is a feature that allows you to highlight a component on the PCB file by selecting the corresponding part on the schematic and vice versa. I did not want this happen again, then I found on Youtube about Cross Select Mode and Reposition Selected Components features on Altium. It did not often occur, only when it was due an hour later (smashing my head against the wall). ![]() When I routed PCBs, there were occasions where I thought I had finished routing then I found out there was a single resistor I missed connecting, and that would just ruin my day. A better way to route on Altium (NOT AUTOROUTE) ![]()
