Hi,

imagin that you have a project(include Sch and pcb). when you select one component , we can use a shortcut to jump from schmatic to that footprint in PCB document.
i want to know what is this shortcut?

This is something called cross-probing. Selecting the component in the schematic will also select the component in the pcb tool. Selecting a component in the pcb tool will also select the component in the schematic.


Although this is a very usefull tool it can be very annoying too. Especially on slow networks. (It all needs some time).

For turning crossprobing on or off you have to look at your system's help files.

Cross Probe already has a keyboard shortcut - use "TC" when in either the PCB Editor or the Schematic Editor. The cursor will change to a large cross, and when you click on an object in one document type, the corresponding object will mask and select in the other.
