Imagine instantly seeing the functional logic of your PCB—no filters, no hunting, no guesswork.
That’s exactly what Color Groups in PCB‑Investigator deliver.
The feature automatically groups components by type, first digit of the reference, or attributes such as PACKAGE_GROUP, each with a customizable color. This gives you an immediate functional map of your board—power components in yellow, RF sections in blue, or any scheme that fits your workflow.
Key capabilities include:
- Group by number – ideal when schematic references already follow functional logic.
- Group by character (R, C, L …) for fast type‑based overviews.
- Group by attributes – perfect for package‑driven analysis (SOP, QFN, BGA).
- Precise RGB control or integrated Color Editor for consistent visual standards.
- Full compatibility with ODB++, IPC‑2581, GenCAD ensures seamless integration into existing flows.
The result: instant clarity in complex designs—ideal for reviews, DFM checks, or quick troubleshooting.
