The ECAD Context Data Explorer now includes two powerful new features to enhance your design experience:

  • Color Assignment:
    You can now apply colors to ECAD layers and entities inside Nets. A mixed state indicator shows when multiple colors are applied to a layer, and you can update it to use a single color across the entire layer.
  • Transparency Control:
    Transparency adjustments are now available for surface and quilt representations. You can set the opacity of ECAD layers from 0% to 100%, providing better visualization when layers overlap or cover critical board geometry.
