footprints ok in component browser but not on layout

Hello,

I am using footprints edited by my company and I try to edit a PCB using Allegro PCB Design. I updated all the footprints,specified the paths PSMPATH and PADPATH. When I add a component on the schematic using component browser, I see the footprint associated while after using Design Sync to export physically, no footprints are availables. 

On the log report, different warnings appear to tell me that the symbol is not found in PSMPATH or must be doctored

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

WARNING(SPMHNI-194): Symbol 'MY_FOOTPRINT' for device 'MY_DEVICE' not found in PSMPATH or must be "dbdoctor"ed.

 Do you know how to solve this problem ?

 

Thanks

Romaric

    This sounds like an issue with the version used to edit the parts being older that the version you are using. Try running DBDoctor on your library. This should update the symbol to your current version.
