Pad_Designer.exe in 17.4?

rbrodner

I am currently using PCB Editor 17.4 and I am trying to download a design to import into my project and the script fails and says 'pad_designer' is not a recognized command.  I know I have done this in the past when I was using version 16.6 and didn't have any problems.  Did this executable command go away in 17.4?  Any ideas on how to fix or run these library download scripts in 17.4?

    So if I just edit the .bat file and replace pad_designer with padstack_editor, these design file scripts will run?
