Rats Display

I am routing out to an FPGA from a connector and I have flexibility to perform pin-swapping based on the layout when I get close to the FPGA.   As a result, I have many uncompleted clines that need to be connected to the FPGA.  It would be very helpful to have the Rats nest lines displayed from the end of the clines even if the manhattan distance of that point is further away from the FPGA pin than the connector pin.  The rats lines continue to snap back to the origin of the net at the connector pin.  Is there a way to change the display of the rats to achieve this?  Thanks in advance for the help.  (OrCAD PCB Editor v 16.3)

     Bill,

    If you are looking for above mentioned option " Closest Endpoint"

    Go to  Setup> Design Parameters > Display tab.

    There you will get that option to set the rats connection from closest end point and pin to pin.

    Hope this helps.
