If you are a PADS Layout User, do not use V2012.19 release. Stay with V2012.18.
 
We'll have V2012.20 released soon.

This was fixed in a new installer, still 2012.19.
If you download/reinstall, you will not have this problem any longer.

Important V2012.19 Release Note:
 
Unfortunately, some of our "test" FPX files got into the V2012.19 installation.
 
These FPX files are: SON, QFN, SOT143 and CGA and they are in this folder -
C:\Program Files (x86)\PCB Libraries\FPX 2012\Libraries\IPC
 
Please manually delete them. The CGA FPX is corrupted so don't even open it.
 
All of the parts in these FPX files are already fixed and in the SMT FPX file.
 
There should only be 3 FPX files in the IPC folder -
  1. BGA
  2. SMT
  3. Texas Instruments

Delete everything else.

 
This issue will be fixed tonight and a new V2012.19 installer uploaded, but if you already installed V2012.19, please delete the extra FPX files for your own protection.
 
Sorry for the inconvenience.
