@atlarman:
For a PL Y character, for each attack (including unarmed) that requires an attack roll, the sum of the attack bonus and the rank must equal 2*Y at most and many people argue that not having at least one attack that equals 2*Y is not meeting caps. Ditto with defense bonus and toughness save. What he added was displaying a warning if you do not meet caps. So, for example, if your only attack for your PL 10 character were a +10 DC 23 (+8 damage rank) attack, you're 2 pts under caps, while +12 DC 23 would be fine as would +10 DC 25 or +8 DC 27.
Your Strike comment sounds like you're referring to the DCA/M&M3E rules. The Hero Lab for that has not been released yet.
As for your second comment about Save DC, you can have ranks more than PL if the attack bonus is correspondingly under PL. See Page 24 of the core book for more details on Tradeoffs. Your comment about "no more than 5 at PL 10" baffles me. Could you explain yourself with an example? As far as I know, all fo the Save DCs are correctly implemented.
