[PCB_FORUM] Re: Pad designer editor problems

Shirley,

You've hit on something here.  When I rename the "r11x44_mod" to "r11x44m"
or "r11x44mo", it will load into "Pad_Designer".  For some strange reason,
adding that extra "d" (to make "r11x44mod"), causes it to not load.

To make it an even stranger situation, "r11x44-m" and "r11x44_m" will also
load, but *not* "r11x44-mo" nor "r11x44_mo" (it just doesn't like that third
added character?!?).

  Have you tried to save a new padstack as r11x44m instead of _mod?
  the _mod really shouldn't be a problem. I also believe that where the tool
  is saving the padstack to may not be where allegro is looking for the
padstacks.

  Richard,

  No, there is no flash involved.  It is a pure rectangular SMT pad with the
soldermask modified.

    I've managed to clear a few more cob webs. The problem showed up when I
loaded a flash in Allegro. Does this pad stack have a flash? Try to look at
it.

    Thanks Richard.  This padstack is in the same directory with others that
I have no problem loading into the padstack editor (they don't have the
"_mod" at the end).

      I've seen this before. I'm not sure but, check if there are any spaces
in any of the directory names in the total path.

      Hey guys,



      Anyone see this while trying to edit a padstack?  I have a padstack
that I modified from another one with "_mod" at the end (i.e. the padstack
is named "r11x44_mod.pad").  Could it be the "_"?  I tried replacing the "_"
with a "-", then taking it out altogether, same results.  Only when I remove
the "mod", can I edit the padstack!  I can edit ones without the "_mod" all
I want.



      Thanks for any replies!
