In the Altium Translator menu, the mechanical layer number must be changed. 

The word "eMechanical" cannot change or be renamed or you will break the script language. 

You can change the Numbers, but not the text

Chris,
RE: saving new option files.
In the Save As dialog box, navigate (point and click) to a directory where you want your new option file to go.
Where the File name entry appears and is Highlighted, type the new file name.  The ".opt" file extension is added automatically.
Click Save or Cancel to abort.
This is pretty standard procedure for Windows.

Jeff,

I already HAVE the options file. I want to switch to it. I'm asking how to select an already existing options file, not how to create one. Standard Windows "browse to" functionality.

Thanks,

Chris

Sorry, sometimes you have to get slapped in the face to see the problem.
I'm fixing it now and it'll be in a new release in the morning.

Hi Tom, Jeff,

I'm not seeing any change using the installer in the supplied link. I completely uninstalled all other instances of FP Expert to make sure I wasn't opening an older revision by accident. About is showing version v.05.



Clicking the ellipses in the translator still takes me to a Save As dialog.



Perhaps the installer at the provided link is incorrect?

I am stuck in meetings for the next 5 hours but can test any additional update you provide after that.

Thanks,
Chris

OK, I think I missed the fine print and didn't explicitly click on this...



Checking it now...
