• I just noticed that the DRC in ORCAD doesn't include unrouted nets. You need to go to Check>Design Status on the menu bar. Is there a way to get this metric to appear on the status bar on the bottom of the editor like the "stoplight" DRC icon?

  I don't think so but I don't really see the usefulness of that. If you click on the square before the 'unrouted connections' item in the DRC window, you get a list with clickable coordinates of the connections that are still open. This way you can travel to any unrouted segments quickly; no need to scan the entire board for unrouted nets manually.

• I've addded 'design status' as a button on my tool bar. Saves a click.
