User Preferences problem

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello,

We am trying to make footprint fpx file  using our company´s usr 
preferences for solder mask, pad shape , courtyard excess and silkscreen 
clearance... but also making it a "least Environment level"...  but when 
i apply the tab that says "least" on the environment level menu, it 
overwrites  completely the user rules stated above... , so it does 
change the pad environment level but it is not respecting our user 
settings. Would you please help us fix this problem, or if we are doing 
something wrong please point us in the correct direction.  I am 
attaching a pdf with the example on how this problem occurs.

Best Regards

Jesus

	You're doing it wrong. Select your Density Level first and then change your preferences. You have 3 sets of Users Preferences and you must select the Density Level first. Then you are ready to change all the Preferences for that specific Density Level. Do not change your Preferences and then change your Density Level (that is backwards).

	Helo Tom, Thanks for the reply, im not sure i follow you, i have tryed it forwards and backwards , first changing the environtment box , or first uploading our USR.dat file that includes our changes , and it does the same, as soon as i select "least (L) " on the box , it changes all the preferences, and i cant find where do does preferences reflect as parameters so i can save them. Im sending a screnshot where im changing it first, maybe its on another menu box i need to chage. Thanks Jesus
