Title: Altium 19 - highlighting between schematic and PCB
Post by: vixo on March 21, 2020, 11:34:47 am

I've got access to Altium 19 for a short period and I'm trying to acquaint myself. I did use an older version of Altium in the past (can't remember which) and I would often select a part on schematic view, which also selected it in the board layout window. Altium 19 doesn't seem to do this, is there a way I can change the settings to make this happen?

In your user preferences change your navigation settings to allow cross probing.

There also a menu option for cross-select and cross probe, under tools maybe?
