In schematic view, is it possible to make symbols/pins/wires

[Brandon Hoppe]

I'd like to create a skill function so that given a highlited net, I can
make all other symbols/pins/wires invisible so that I can see ONLY the
net that I have highlited.

Anyone know a way to change the visibility of these?

Thanks.

They're just layers, so once you figure out exactly *which* layers
they are, you can turn visibility on/off as you please.

There's probably a ge* call as well, but this:

leSetLayerVisible("wire" nil) hiReDraw()

....certainly makes all your wires invisible. If you're currently
running
a binary (like icms) that doesn't load layout contexts, you'll need
to switch to something that does (like icfb).

geQuerySelSet() is your friend when it comes to figuring out what
layer is what. "wire", "pin", and "device" are a good start, though.

There's also hiSetShadowMode() and hiSetShadowPercent()
