Sorry it took so long for me to try this, for the nets, in the end, this is the same as what I found.
What would be good is a highlight action, maybe a filter for traces, vias, shapes..., select the color, then any net I click on is that color, change color, click on more nets. As it is, it's usable, just could be easier.
As far as default directories, I'm talking about before any projects are loaded. So that any new projects or any projects I open go to say H:\CS\projects as the starting point by default.
It's like all these programs there are short comings that are annoying. Sometimes it's there, just need to find it, sometimes just live with it.
Thanks
Joel
