Displaying functional pin names on canvas in Allegro 17.4

AK202604165532

Hello,

Is it possible in Allegro 17.4 to display the functional Pin Names (from the library/symbol) on the canvas, similar to how the "Display net names (OpenGL only)" feature works? Ideally, I would like to see these names while routing or have them displayed on a specific subclass.

For context, my schematic is designed in OrCAD Capture using a CIS library.

If this feature isn't available natively, is it possible to implement this functionality using a SKILL script? If anyone has a script or a workaround for this, I would greatly appreciate your help.

Best regards, Alex!

    You can display net names on clines and pins with the help of following Cadence ASK Article-

    Are you using a remote machine or a local machine, which graphics card you are using ?
