Cannot find trace tapering option in Route->Gloss

Hi all,

I want to do trace tapering.

I googled and found I need to Route->Gloss->Fillet and Tapered Tarce.

But I don't even have this option. I know this is a function added to OrCAD PCB Editor 16.5. And I am using 16.5.

Is there any parameter I need to set  to activate this menu? Or at least is there a work-around?

Thank you!

    P003 is the Base Release of 16.5, Tapered Traces and Fillets were added in a hotfix / update, I would say around October, either 2011 hotfix 8, or 2012, hotfix 33. Unfortunately, since the 16.5 release has been retired, it's no longer possible to access many of the resources. You would, most likely, need to get an update to the current 16.6 version to get this feature enabled.
