Cross Probe means a logical switching between schematic view and PCB view. For example: finding the according track in the PCB which belongs to a selected signal in the schematic. The related element will be displayed in its maximum size (format filling).

Cross Probe is executed by this menu command, by a click with M1 on the above tool or by pressing [F3]. The element in question needs to be selected before using this function. The following tasks are supported:

• Find the track of a selected signal element.
  
• Find the package on the PCB, which belongs to the selected schematic symbol.
  
• Find the package on the PCB, when a related element of a schematic symbol (pin, line, text) is selected.
  
• Find a signal in the schematic, which belongs to the selected track segment on the PCB.
  
• Find the schematic symbol, which belongs to the selected component package.
  
• Find the schematic symbol, when a related element of a component package (solder pad, line, text) is selected.
  
  

The elements (signals, components) will be searched on all schematic pages. If the result shows several schematic pages, the user will be informed.
