	The use of signal classes plays an important role in a project without a schematic: Only by assigning certain signals to signal classes the autorouter later can take over information about the track width to be implemented. Also consider the possibility of renaming signals as a whole if TARGET has only assigned artificial signal names. Again use the binoculars to do so. However, this is not crucial for the autorouter's work.<br><br><br>		The use of signal classes plays an important role in a project without a schematic: Only by assigning certain signals to signal classes the autorouter later can take over information about the track width to be implemented.

			= How can I highlight all signals of a certain class? =

			Using key [f] which stands for "'''f'''ind and select", you can highlight all signal segments or track segments of acertain signal class. See also the identical menu item in the "Edit" menu.

			At the top right of the sidebar you can also search for the name of the signal classes in the search line. Click on the binoculars. Also the [[Select#Selection_assistant\|selection assistant]] in menu "Edit" offers "signal class" as search criterion, see the ''Property'' column.

	You can '''delete a signal class''' at any time either by the '''[Del]''' key or by the button with the "x" in the dialog, see image 2. The only need is to have the name of the signal class highlighted. The signals of a class deleted keep the assigned values until you change them individually.

	In the column ''signal class'' the names of the various classes are shown. Besides we have the columns ''Width, Spacing, Length'' which we have recognized already and partly have entered values to the fields. You can't enter values manually here. TARGET 3001! does it automatically.		In the column ''signal class'' the names of the various classes are shown.
