I seemed to have pressed some hotkey activating a white outline around same layer objects during interactive routing. See image below. It seems to slow down FPS quite a bit, so I'd like to disable it. Can someone tell me (1) What the white outline means / what it's for (2) How to disable it?
The worst is spending so much time trying to figure it out, and then asking, only to figure it out yourself.
Ok, so the rules govern what's allowed and what's not allowed. The default rule has a minimum hole size of 28 mils, and one of my favorite via sizes was 17 mils.
There is an option to select how the vias are chosen (Preferred rule, Max or User choice) and even if you have user choice selected, the rules still take priority.
So I changed my rule to accomodate the minimum and I'm able to change during routing with SHIFT+V.
Well, I spent a solid hour or so trying to find the answer, gave up and asked here. Then a few minutes later I had the idea of seeing what shortcuts are available during routing (Ctrl-F1) and then finding that the 5 key will go through via patterns, one of which is the pattern I was looking for.
So, pressing 5 while routing multiple net's will give you other via patterns.

I think @Hearth is correct.
Try Preferences->Interactive Routing->Interactive Routing Options and de-select "Display Clearance Boundaries".
