See power and ground pins without hunting through nets
On complex circuit boards, understanding the supply structure quickly can make the difference between a smooth review and a time-consuming search through net lists. The Power Pin Wizard in PCB-Investigator highlights power and ground pins directly in the layout, without changing the design data.
That gives developers, layout engineers, and reviewers instant visual orientation. Common nets such as GND, VCC, 3V3, 5V, 12V, VBAT, and VCORE are automatically detected and displayed in structured lists.
Why this matters in daily engineering work
When boards get dense, it becomes difficult to judge at a glance whether supply areas are distributed plausibly or whether central rails reach the components they should. The Power Pin Wizard makes these structures visible immediately, which is especially useful for analysis, reviews, screenshots, and documentation.
The visualization is applied only in the viewer, so your electrical data stays unchanged.
You can also add additional nets from the current selection and mark them individually as Ground or Power. Colors are fully customizable, so you can align the view with your internal standards, for example blue for ground and red for supply.
Key benefits
- Instant visual identification of power and ground pins
- Automatic detection of typical supply nets
- Custom color highlighting for better readability
- Net selections saved per job for repeat use
- No changes to the original design data
If you want to understand power structures faster and communicate them more clearly, the Power Pin Wizard is a practical addition to your PCB review flow.
