I was using Protel DXP 2004 the other day and for some reason, when in the PCB editor, holding CTRL key and left clicking a Net will no longer highlight the Net anymore.

I have tried to get it to work again but have been unsuccessfull after searching through all the menus.

Does anyone have any idea of what I have changed, and if I can get it working again?

(btw, please don't suggest using CTRL + H as it does a different thing.)

If not; Is there a way to restore the Protel DXP 2004 settings to defaults to get this option back working? For me this is a really important shortcut that I am missing badly.


Thanks,
oddbudman

Ok, I managed to solve the problem, it turns out the issue was that I had dissabled

Tools -> Preferences -> Display -> Apply Highlight During interactive editing.

Thanks for the tip sadashiv_sm, whilst it wasn't the reason, it got my brain thinking along the right track.
