Can we see the "Max current and resistance" of traces and vias in Presto or Orcad X?

Tried posting this with a link a bit ago, but it got flagged due to a link to an image showing what I meant.

Is there a way in Presto or Orcad X to see the max current and resistance of traces and vias while routing?  Altium has had this feature for a bit now and I just started using Presto and was wondering if we had the same thing here.  It's in the properties panel in Altium.

We get a lot of info in Presto in the properties, but we're missing these.  Can this be added to tool later on?  Would be super handy.

Thanks,

Danny

    Currently we can show parasitics in Orcad and Allegro X by typing the command "show parasitics" in the command prompt. Now the user can select each cline they wish in succession. This calculator display appears to the user and will recalculate depending on the cline selection.

    Currently this functionality is not yet available in the Presto PCB Editor. .
