How to highlight a net (and make the rest darker)

Hi

Coming from the Altium world there is one thing I really miss in Allegro / Orcad PCB Designer: the ability to simply highlight a net by reducing the brightness of everything else. In Altium, there is a possibility to simply Ctrl-Click a net, everything else will go darker and the net will show more vivid. This way you can easily determine where the net is going, through all layers.

In Allegro/Orcad PCB Designer I have found the option to "highlight" a net which will make it a bit patterned, the rest will stay the same and it is really hard to distinguish it from the rest visible. I have found that you can give colors to a net which is slightly better but then I won't be able to determine the layers it is going through anymore. Also, the rest will still be bright, again - pretty hard to visually distinguish.

Any ideas?
