Padstack error

Alexey I
Alexey I over 5 years ago

Hello, 

I'm using Cadence Allegro 17.2

DBDoctor shows a message: 

ERROR: in PAD STACK padstack name = EPAD_154X114_15HXD12
  WARNING(SPMHA1-120): Illegal pad size.
   Error cannot be fixed.

However, I changed the padstack, changed its name and deleted old. In this case this padstack is absent in my project.
But "Padstack Definition Report" shows it. And DBDoctor also. It means the information about this padstack present somewhere.
The question: How can I delete the information about old padstack from the project database?

    how did you delete the old padstack?

    you may need to purge the old padstack completely by Tools->Padstack->Modify Desgin Padstack->Purge->All

     

    this one might help you as well.

    it could be the padstack name, EPAD_154X114_15HXD12.

    the padstack name may be too long for your setup.
