No, the DRC check did not catch it - I only noticed the missing component as it happened to be one of only a couple of through hole components on my mostly surface mount PCB. I was just doing a final check manually to make sure all the through hole capacitors were placed with enough space around them and I noticed one was missing.

I thought that maybe a warning should popup right after the netlist import if there was an error (this could be for any error, not just this one) - the error does show in the netlist box but moves extremely quickly off the top of the screen and unless you scroll up through the messages it is very easy to miss. The popup would make you aware that an error had occurred so you do not miss it by mistake.
