NetBom provides a set of tools that allows users to trace all the connections in a given electronic design and display them graphically in a web browser. The tracing behavior can be customized using a set of configuration settings. This is useful for checking connections that span multiple pages. Traces stop at ground and power connections, as well as configurable part types like connectors and integrated circuits. The tool also allows users to stop tracing at a certain number of nodes in a connection. There are three main types of traces that NetBom performs: power traces, diff pair traces, and regular traces. Each type is rendered and traced differently , and is configured using different settings.

The graphical rendering of a Net Trace is displayed in the Net Trace Window, with more information about that here: Net Trace Window Anatomy - Product Documentation - Confluence (atlassian.net)

Example

...

Above is an example of a typical small trace. The base net is MAX8668_ENOUT. The trace has been configured to stop at all connectors and ICs, and so we see the ICs U1, U5, and U6 showing up as components that have not been traced through. NetBom has determined that P3R3V is a power net, so it stops when reaching that, and AGND was determined to be a ground net so it stops there as well.
