I kept running into a crashing problem the other day... the file name was
too long according to one brief message flash I saw before the tool
died. I was modifying a part from 3p1x3p1ymm to 3p1x3p1ymm1corner, and it
would not allow it... I was able to do 3p1x3p1ymm1cut... but only after
lots of trial and error. I also had problems just making a simple
rectangular pad. I too am using 15.2 v032.

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.

Ive 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).

Ive seen this before. Im 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!
