Hi,
Whenever I run the Allegro batch scripts for surface mount parts I get an error in Pad Designer: 

PADSTACK ERRORS and WARNINGS:
SOLDERMASK_TOP : Pad size is zero.
PASTEMASK_TOP : Pad size is zero.

Those layers have the 'Shape' property populated with some generated name, but 'Width' and 'Height' are both 0. I'm using 16.6, and PCBLE2015. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? Please let me know if it would be helpful to include my source files or logs or anything.

Also include your contact info so we can do a webcast to see your screen if we can't duplicate the issue.
