Symbol editor missing property sheet tab/drawer

I am using capture 17.2.2016.

When i use the symbol editor i can not see the property sheet drawer / tab to edit pin properties.

Is that a feature available only with a certain license or is something broken with my capture installation ?

What do i have to do to see the property sheet drawer / tab?

i would like my symbol editor to look like this...

mine currently looks like this..

    Which exact version are you using? (Check from Help>About in Capture) If the Options menu has working entries for Part Properties and Package Properties, you need an update to get the Part / Symbol Editor version that has the Property Sheet. Current 17.2 version is 17.2-2016.s061
