The new padstack editor included with OrCad / Allegro 17.2 chokes on pads with a pastemask of dimension 0. It throws a warning and refuses to generate the pad. Instead of generating a pad with 0 dimension, the script should not generate any pad at all.
Here's a script which shows the failure: # Allegro script # Generated by FPX Expert # name: c1800p0 QtSignal MainWindow New triggered QtSignal fileNewDialog dataCombo CurrentIndexChanged "SMD Pin" QtSignal fileNewDialog dataCombo activated "SMD Pin" QtSignal fileNewDialog browse clicked QtFillin c1800p0.pad QtSignal fileNewDialog OK clicked QtSignal MainWindow Units CurrentIndexChanged Millimeter QtFillin Yes QtSignal GuidedDesignLayersTab LayersTable cellClicked 0 "Regular Pad" None 0 2 QtSignal GuidedDesignLayersTab PadShape CurrentIndexChanged Circle QtSignal GuidedDesignLayersTab PadShape activated Circle QtSignal GuidedDesignLayersTab PadDiameter editingFinished 18 QtSignal GuidedMaskLayersTab LayersTable cellClicked 0 Pad None 0 1 QtSignal GuidedMaskLayersTab PadShape CurrentIndexChanged Circle QtSignal GuidedMaskLayersTab PadShape activated Circle QtSignal GuidedMaskLayersTab PadDiameter editingFinished 18 QtSignal GuidedMaskLayersTab LayersTable cellClicked 2 Pad None 2 1 QtSignal GuidedMaskLayersTab PadShape CurrentIndexChanged Circle QtSignal GuidedMaskLayersTab PadShape activated Circle QtSignal GuidedMaskLayersTab PadDiameter editingFinished 0 QtSignal MainWindow Save triggered QtSignal MainWindow Exit triggered |

Instead of turning the FP Designer pad stack value to zero (0), why don't you remove (delete) the Paste Mask pad stack from the list? |
