I wish nets had the same format as lines, too. For instance, schematic
for, say, a lathe plant could have centered earth nets, and power nets
could be more thick than others.

You can always distinguish something by selecting it. For example, the
attached scheme script selects nets which netname attribute has the
value "power". It's trivially to assign a shortcut for it and, for
example, use a selected attribute as template. (For sure, there are
other ways to select what you want, but I think it's enough info yet for
those who are interested.)

Cheers,
  Vladimir
