There are a wide variety ways in which net appearance can be used to convey information within an eXpress design. Although different projects/Analysts will develop their own preferences, here are some ideas commonly-used ways by which net appearance can be used to help make the information within a design drawing more easily understood. See Illustration below.

Note the use of color on Electronic Busses and Fluid Pipes. Use of color can greatly reduce quick identification of net type and thus reduce modeling manhours. In most cases it is wize to use stubs for pipes.
