Anyone do a simple 2 layer flex design in Presto yet? Super buggy it seems.

Tried all day making a stackup for a 2 layer flex and it's exhausting.  Is the next Presto update in Oct going to fix some of these bugs?  Anyone have a simple 2 layer flex design that I can look at and check the stackup?  It seems like some things just don't work or work differently from the regular Orcad with the stackup stuff.  

All I can find are rigidflex stuff and no one actually shows how to do a stackup from scratch.  

With Altium, I can whip up a 2layer flex in hours.  Spent the whole day just trying to get the stackup correct.  Anyone have a link for a video or anything that explains it like I'm 2 years old?  

Thanks

    Well I've successfully made a few Flex designs and once you get past the buggy stackup stuff, the tool works very well :)  

    Orcad should really update the stackup stuff to have all this in there out of the gate.  It's 2025 and doing flex designs is pretty standard.
