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

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.

    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?

    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.
