Enhancement for HIGHLIGHT CONNECTED AREA tool #749

Open MALTER59 opened 1 year ago

MALTER59 commented 1 year ago

highlight all components connected to the currently highlighted track. This helps identifying promptly all connected components rather then having to confirm manually one by one, and accelerates the post-laying out verification process. Perhaps component colour change? Generate a temporary "all fitted" mini list? Highlights in the righthand component list, similar to when a single component is selected? Possibly selected by a check box within the tool itself......"HIGHLIGHT ATTACHED ELEMENTS"

"Expand selection -> immediate only" feature is intended to do this, but it seems to be buggy after the last refactor. I'll keep this ticket open as a reminder to fix it.
