Creating Netlist without Footprint name in pstchip.dat, pstxprt.dat

If you will rename footprint in netlist files while creating the board file you might have some issue while placing the component.

Here you are talking about Primitive it is the description of the physical part and the Part Name is the concatenation of Source Package, PCB Footprint and other properties found in the [ComponentDefinitionProps] section of the configuration file used for netlisting(allegro.cfg) file.

By default, the netlister will concatenate "Source Package_PCB Footprint_Value"

You can override this by adding the DEVICE property to each part and setting it to the Pcb Footprint Name. This fixes the naming in all the .dat files.
