@Lekselius, I’m having the same issue so I wanted to thank you for starting the thread. I worked around the issue by making custom pads. Just for future reference, has this issue been fixed now and if so, which revision number includes this update. I don’t have an internet connection the PC I work on so I just wanted to know if the latest patch would update this for me. I’m kind of hoping I can find a small update patch instead of updating the complete OrCAD.

Can you post your FPX along and the details with the exact issue you may have? I'm pretty positive the initial issue was handled but would like to see how its the same or differs from the original issue.

Also. make sure to get past a padstack error that you close the error, do file -> save in pad_designer, you should get the error again(close it), it'll ask you to save padstack with warnings.. put yes, and then close it. If you don't manually save a non-plated padstack with warnings, it will not generate the .pad and use the first .pad it can find in the directory rather than the one you wanted it to generate. This will cause a regular non-plated hole to tend to be generated improperly. Its a OrCAD PCB issue that if you simply close out the padstack designer, it doesn't save the actual .pad with warnings, if it had warnings.
