Hello,

The Footprint Expert does no longer add the density level suffix to our newly created footprints. 

To my knowledge no edits have been made to our .opt file, the option "Include Suffix in Footprint Name" is checked, and there is no entry in the field for "Overwrite Footprint Name Suffix".

What am I missing here?

Best,
    Volkmar

You won't get any Density Level when using the Mfr. Recommended Pattern. 

All non-standard footprints created in FP Designer use the mfr. recommended footprint. 

Footprints created in the calculator have a "Use Mfr. Recommended Pattern" option.
