Orcad Capture 17.4 P0001 (3823098) Netlist Tool does not have Netrev options and does not create .brd file

Question

I have recently downloaded the 17.4 trial version to learn this software. 
 After going through the tutorial on developing a schematic and completing the footprint development, annotation and DRC , I attempted to create a netlist. 
 The tutorial said that there would be a .brd file created after the netlisting was completed, located in the allegro folder with the pst* files. 
 The tutorial's instruction show an entire section on the netlist window that include creating or updating PCB Editor Board (Netrev) 
 When I select the netlist tool, the window I see doesn't have anything below the Netlist Creation. I attemted to upload a picture of what my Create Netlist Window looks like, with no options for creating a .brd file. 
 
 Is this something new in 17.4? I found netrev on the C:\Cadence\SPB_17.4	ools\bin path, so it is available. 
 
 Thanks

Yes. This is something new. 17.4 release has completely revamped, simplified PCB ECO flow. It also lets you view what is changing in your board or Schematic in current ECO. Use PCB > Design Sync to create new board for a schematic or do ECO on existing board. Refer S tart Menu > Programs >Cadence Help 17.4-2019 >Cadence OrCAD and Allegro Tutorials 17.4 and select OrCAD Tutorial for updated tutorial for 17.4. Jump to Creating a Board section for steps to create a new board.
