PCB Editor: "Check" menu missing

dontpanic

Hi! I an online tutorial for Orcad PCB Designer Professional I see there is a menu "Check", which is missing in my installation (I'm using Allegro PCB Designer 17.2.2016). Is there a way of bringing this menu in?

In particular, I am interested in the "Design status" option within this menu. If I type "status" in my command window I do get the intended dialog window to appear, so it seems the functionality is present in my installation, and is just the menu what is missing. Is there a way to overcome this?

Thanks, Jorge.

    Allegro licenses use the "legacy" menus and there isn't any supported way to change to the "OrCAD" menus. Design Status is Display>Status with the legacy menus.
