Capture 17.4 - Allegro properties no longer available in Capture property editor

jgregoire

In the past, when I would edit properties on something (a net, for example), in the "Filter By" dropdown box I could select Allegro Designer (or some similar phrase), and it would bring up a whole bunch of PCB-related properties, such as NET_SPACING_TYPE and NET_PHYSICAL_TYPE.

At some point, all the Filter By dropdown options disappeared except for "<Current properties>," which has a woefully short set of properties. When I open up a schematic where nets definitely have the above properties, they do not show up under Current Properties, and if I netlist a PCB, they are not set in the PCB either.

I am the only one on my team with this problem.

Is there some terribly-labeled checkbox somewhere I need to toggle?
