I have also run across this issue. It seems that Allegro outputs the
data from the symbols that were read into the database. Any
modifications made within the database are ignored. If you want these
items to be output into your IDF data then you have to update the symbol
with the appropriate info and refresh the symbol in the database. Then
and only then will the correct IDF data output. If anyone else knows of
another way then please respond.

Sure I can export, no problem...  

But a more subtle issue.  Where is Allegro getting the data to make the
idf (emn and emp files)?

I can change the properties withing the .brd file of the
PACKAGE_HEIGHT_MAX on the class PACKAGE GEOMETRY / subclass
PLACE_BOUND_TOP for a particular part symbol, but it does not appear to
change the output files data for that part.

Also is there a conflict between the shape used for PLACE_BOUND_TOP and
some other feature of a part symbol?  I have at least one part symbol
with a PACKAGE_HEIGHT_MAX property that only outputs the default height,
it acts as if there is no HEIGHT property at all.  

Anybody have any insight here?
