BUG? Allegro 17.4S022: Made new project and PSM or PAD files normally located in "local" directory have disappeared

Hi all,

I'm using the 17.4S022 of Capture and PCB editor and as of this week the footprints located in the install DIR under "X:\Cadence\share\local\pcb\padstacks" no longer exists nor do the standard passive compoents that cadence has by default, i.e. C0603, R0603 etc.

Upon making a new allegro file for a new project from capture (schematic to PCB designing) I'm met with the below for all standard components.

#1 WARNING(SPMHNI-192): Device/Symbol check warning detected. [help]

WARNING(SPMHNI-194): Symbol 'C0805' used by RefDes C171 for device 'CAP NP_C0805_10U' not found. 

The symbol either does not exist in the library path (PSMPATH) or is an old symbol from a previous release.  


At the bottom I can see that the locations are all there that I'd expect (see below).

------ Library Paths ------

MODULEPATH =  . 

           d:/cadence/share/local/pcb/modules 

PSMPATH =  . 

           symbols 

           .. 

           ../symbols 

           d:/cadence/share/local/pcb/symbols 

           d:/cadence/share/pcb/pcb_lib/symbols 

           d:/cadence/share/pcb/allegrolib/symbols 
           d:/8_PCB-parts/psm

PADPATH =  . 

           symbols 

           .. 

           ../symbols 

           d:/cadence/share/local/pcb/padstacks 

           d:/cadence/share/pcb/pcb_lib/symbols 

           d:/cadence/share/pcb/allegrolib/symbols 

           D:/8_PCB-parts/pad 

I did read that there was an issue with the reading of files etc should you favorite the locations should you need to add more, so have removed that from the "user preferences" and yet I haven't got the footprints back. 

Would I need to delete the "bugged" allegro folder and remake it in order to move past it?
