We recently updated our OrCAD PCB-Editor to 17.2. Now LE cannot build TH footprints anymore. The new Pad Stack Editor always throws up this warning:
 This is the script that caused the error (just as an example, since all others behave the same way): # Allegro script # Generated by FPX Expert # name: s218h145 QtSignal MainWindow New triggered QtSignal fileNewDialog dataCombo CurrentIndexChanged "Thru Pin" QtSignal fileNewDialog dataCombo activated "Thru Pin" QtSignal fileNewDialog browse clicked QtFillin s218h145.pad QtSignal fileNewDialog OK clicked QtSignal MainWindow Units CurrentIndexChanged Millimeter QtFillin Yes QtSignal MainWindow DecimalPlaces activated 4 QtSignal GuidedDrillTab HoleType activated Circle QtSignal GuidedDrillTab holeXSize editingFinished 1.45 QtSignal GuidedDesignLayersTab LayersTable cellClicked 0 "Regular Pad" None 0 2 QtSignal GuidedDesignLayersTab PadShape CurrentIndexChanged Square QtSignal GuidedDesignLayersTab PadShape activated Square QtSignal GuidedDesignLayersTab PadWidth editingFinished 2.18 QtSignal GuidedDesignLayersTab LayersTable cellClicked 1 "Regular Pad" None 1 2 QtSignal GuidedDesignLayersTab PadShape CurrentIndexChanged Circle QtSignal GuidedDesignLayersTab PadShape activated Circle QtSignal GuidedDesignLayersTab PadDiameter editingFinished 2.18 QtSignal GuidedDesignLayersTab LayersTable cellClicked 1 "Thermal Pad" None 1 3 QtSignal GuidedDesignLayersTab PadShape CurrentIndexChanged Circle QtSignal GuidedDesignLayersTab PadShape activated Circle QtSignal GuidedDesignLayersTab PadDiameter editingFinished 2.3 QtSignal GuidedDesignLayersTab LayersTable cellClicked 1 "Anti Pad" None 1 4 QtSignal GuidedDesignLayersTab PadShape CurrentIndexChanged Circle QtSignal GuidedDesignLayersTab PadShape activated Circle QtSignal GuidedDesignLayersTab PadDiameter editingFinished 2.3 QtSignal GuidedDesignLayersTab LayersTable cellClicked 2 "Regular Pad" None 2 2 QtSignal GuidedDesignLayersTab PadShape CurrentIndexChanged Square QtSignal GuidedDesignLayersTab PadShape activated Square QtSignal GuidedDesignLayersTab PadWidth editingFinished 2.18 QtSignal GuidedMaskLayersTab LayersTable cellClicked 0 Pad None 0 1 QtSignal GuidedMaskLayersTab PadShape CurrentIndexChanged Square QtSignal GuidedMaskLayersTab PadShape activated Square QtSignal GuidedMaskLayersTab PadWidth editingFinished 2.18 QtSignal GuidedMaskLayersTab LayersTable cellClicked 1 Pad None 1 1 QtSignal GuidedMaskLayersTab PadShape CurrentIndexChanged Square QtSignal GuidedMaskLayersTab PadShape activated Square QtSignal GuidedMaskLayersTab PadWidth editingFinished 2.18 QtSignal GuidedDrillSymbol FigureType CurrentIndexChanged Cross QtSignal GuidedDrillSymbol FigureType activated Cross QtSignal GuidedDrillSymbol FigureWidth editingFinished 1.0 QtSignal GuidedDrillSymbol FigureHeight editingFinished 1.0 QtSignal MainWindow Save triggered QtSignal MainWindow Exit triggered I have already checked the psmpath and psmpath settings and the both conatin the "." in the first place (although I don't think that this is the problem here, sinc SM Parts build correctly). I am running LE2016.10 Any ideas how to fix this? Regards Shreyas

Make sure after you installed 17.2, that you fully patched up to S052, which is the current, I believe. You can check your patch level in Help -> About in either the Padstack Editor or OrCAD PCB Editor/Allegro. You should see an S (patch) level after the version callout. You will also need to make sure the version in our tool is selected as 17.2.048. If you don't see that, you need to patch our tool to current also. |
