Dbdoctor Error won't clear

RBATES15

I am getting an error when running dbdoctor and it won't clear. I have renamed the pad and eventually deleted it from my library but it don't go away. I'm Running PCB Designer 17.2 SO13. Any suggestions?

ERROR: in PAD STACK padstack name = SMD_1_17MM1_8
  WARNING(SPMHA1-120): Illegal pad size.
   Error cannot be fixed.


Thanks
Ryan
  • I was able to fix my own error.

    To correct the issue, I changed the padstack to be the same units as the board and I then changed it to a reasonable shape (for instance a 50mils square). I then loaded it into the board file and ran dbdoctor which cleared the error. I then changed the original pad name to a shorted version (from: SMD_1_17MM1_8 to: SMD_117MM18) while keeping the original dimensions. I then replaced the old padstack with the new stack. I believe the true cause of the error was the name of the padstack and not the padstack shape.
