Amin, The behavior you are experiencing is quite normal. If you modify/replace the design padstacks, it does not change the base symbol if you have chosen Modify Design Padstack dropdown. If it is your intent to permanently change padstacks, you might choose Modify Library Padstack and then refresh your symbol in your current .brd. If you really want to change the pads, it's probably better to delve into the symbol editor(.dra) and change pads there. Be sure to tell the rest of your team you're doing it :) Regards, Ron Scott C.I.D.

IS THIS CORRECT? HOW CAN I GET THE PROGRAM TO EXPORT THE DRA EXACTLY AS IT IS ON THE BRD.... THANKS AHEAD amin _____
