Real-Time DFA Removed in 24.1 and On

Howdy y'all,

I wanted to open a discussion on this. The OrCAD X Presto tutorial at OrCAD X How To Series - Part 5 - DFA and Package to Package Spacing shows the ability to have real-time DFA feedback through white circles. This is incredibly important to prevent users from having to constantly move and check DFA errors back and forth...which has plagued me for years. Without this, placing components takes forever! How do y'all approach this?

I found that it appears Cadence bumped the feature up from the base version to Allegro Designer starting with 24.1. This is outrageous for such a basic feature IMO.
