I haven't spent any time on it recently, but I have spent a bit of time attempting to implement a "2.8" type of pin-swapping Process. With my efforts to date, things didn't work too well when one of the pads had no net assigned previously, and even when that wasn't the case, not all aspects of the netlisting updated properly. I wouldn't fully discount the possibility that DXP might provide a pin swapping feature, but I do regard it as unlikely. My impression is that the "Protel way" regards swapping pins in the PCB file as being arse-about-face; the "correct" way is to manually swap connections in the schematic file, and then do a netlist update operation so that the PCB file then "knows" that the two pads concerned are to have their (previous) net assignments toggled.
