Display Pin Numbers on Component Pins - Display Via Net Names - in Allegro PCB Designer

Question

Hello, 
 In Allegro Viewer I am able to show pin numbers on the pins next to pin net names. I can't figure out how to do it in Allegro PCB Designer. I also need to show net names on vias. 
 
 This is what I am looking for in Allegro PCB Designer: Pin number next to pin name and net name on vias.

Try Setup - Design Parameters and look on the Display tab at the bottom left.

Sorry should have said. This is using 24.1. It was a change made in the new release. All license levels - OrCAD X Std, Pro, Allegro X Artist, Designer, Designer Plus, Venture and Enterprise.

Makes sense! Is 24.1 backward compatible? If I design with 24.1, would board files work in 22.1?

steve · Answer

Yes it is. Look under File - Export - Downrev Design. You can choose 17.4 (22.1) or 23.1. You will lose any 24.1 settings that have been applied but shouldn't be an issue.

Hi, 
 
 Try this to set the visibility of Pin_Number. 
 display -> Color/Visibility -> Layers -> Geometry -> Package Geometry -> Check Pin_Number, then click on Apply.

Thanks!

I see the same issue in SPB_23.1, I'm wondering if it's a license based 
 
 However, in the new ( IMHO brain-dead ) free viewer you can control this from the Visibility Tab's Display settings for 'Other Labels'
