Hi Jelena,
I tried adding the "set..." line to my env file, without results. I wonder
if there is an equivalent "set" command for the padstack editor?
Thanks for your time!

-> -> We have used dashes and underscores in package as well as

-> -> or the dash.
-> ->
-> -> At first I copied/pasted a similar padstack file, renamed it,
-> -> then tried to
-> -> edit it. It wouldn't load with the "_mod", so I took off the "_mod",
-> it
-> -> would then load into the padstack editor. Then I did a "save

-> -> the "_mod". Now, once again, I can't load it in with the "_mod"
-> -> to modify
-> -> it. All of this is taking place in an "unchecked" directory
-> -> where we create
-> -> and use the symbols/padstacks in a design. They are moved into
-> -> the "golden"
-> -> library directory only when tested in a populated functional PCB
-> -> assembly.
-> ->
-> -> In this same "unchecked" directory, I can load a previously
-> -> created padstack
-> -> (i.e. "r15x70") without the "_mod" just fine. It doesn't make
-> -> any sense to
-> -> me. The only thing that has changed lately is I have moved from 15.1
