Hi, I was watching that video, and when the guy clicked on it, Magic showed the connections directly. However, when I click any button, it just creates a white line area and doesn’t select any pin. What could be the reason for this? Should I change something in the options menu? The first/second images are from the tutorial, and the third one is my design.

@Ìrem Ìlter I don’t think it’s a mouse click, I think it’s a bind key. @David Lindley Can you help? I couldn’t find it documented here.

@Ìrem Ìlter: The key would be "`s`" (for "select"). However, there is one difference between the two layouts: Yours has two materials in the same spot (local interconnect and metal 1). Magic will choose the lowest one first, which is not what you want. So let magic choose the lower layer, then move the cursor slightly, then type "`s`" again, and it should choose the next layer it sees, which is metal 1. After that, repeated presses of
s
without moving the cursor will select progressively larger connected areas. There are also commands you can use in that situation, which are
select area metal1
or
select area labels
(the first would select the metal and the label; the second would select only the label).
