++View netnames overlaid onto the traces of the current layout. + +
+When working on the details of a layout it can be useful to observe the +netnames of the traces that you are working with. This is particularly true +when working with densely packed traces and at zoom levels where other +distinguishing features are not visible on screen. + +
+Note that due to the relatively high cost of rendering fonts there may be a +noticeable performance degradation using this feature. + +
+The show_netnames plugin can be accessed from the VIEW menu item. Use the +"Show netnames when zoomed in" checkbox to toggle the functionality. + +
+To avoid cluttering the screen with netnames when zoomed out the plugin defines +a threshold zoom level. The default threshold is 0.02mm/pixel. This is a +configurable parameter. + +
+Objects not belonging to any netlist, "nonets", can be omitted from display. +This is a configurable parameter. + +
+It is also possible to add a list of regular expressions that match netnames +for omission from display. + +
+Default installation location of the show_netnames.conf file is +$(PREFIX)/pcb-rnd/etc/pcb-rnd + +
