I have a similar problem but reversed I save the padstack as single and it opens as blind/buried. I never figured out the problem I just always make sure the right one is checked when I save......

However, when I query/edit design padstack for the "testpad" in the board file it's being used the type shows up as "blind/buried". When I do the same for other smt pads in the board file, they show up as type "blind/buried" also even though when I open them in the padstack editor they are defined as type "single". Any ideas as to how to solve this problem or why it's happening? Or is this normal? Regards, Carolyn
