How to disable cross-probing in PCB designer professional / standard ?

I noticed that in PCB designer professional and standard 17.4-2019 S022 there is no option under the setup menu to disable cross-probing.

In PCB designer (non professional / standard) there is a menu item called disable cross-probing.

Is there a way to temporarily disable the cross-probing feature in PCB designer pro ?

The only thing i found so far is to disable the whole "inter tool communication in capture.

Set user preference variable "allegro_no_xprobe" to Yes to disable cross probing

PCB designer professional has a function for that. It just has no dedicated menu item for it.

1. go to %home% -> AppData\Roaming\SPB_Data\pcbenv

2. Edit env file

3. add this : funckey x xprobe toggle bellow "source $TELENV"

The x keyboard key will now toggle ON/OFF cross-probing in PCB designer.
