Library conversion using 16.6

TH Designs

I just updated to 16.6 yesterday. (latest ISR also)

Today I went to convert some of my old Layout parts using the exact same process I have used before. I now get errors. I can see the parts in 16.6 but when I export them to a library I get the following log file output:

*** Creating all device files (see create_devices.log) ***
  *** Creating padstacks. ***

  DIN_LLB_PAD1 being dumped.

  DIN_LLB_PAD2 being dumped.

  DIN_LLB_PAD3 being dumped.

  DIN_LLB_PAD4 being dumped.

  DIN_LLB_HOLE1 being dumped.

  SM_LLB_PAD25_1 being dumped.
  *** Creating package symbols (.dra and .psm) ***

  smc2220 being dumped.

ERROR: For symbol Symbol Definition "Smc2220", SM_LLB_PAD25_1 padstack not found . Pin not added.

  conn_din_96pin_vert being dumped.

*********************** Summary *********************
ERRORs reported:                           2

Number of padstacks dumped:                6
Number of package symbols dumped:          3

Total number of symbols dumped:            3
*****************************************************

The interesting part is that the padstacks are made as is the symbol, but the symbol contains no padstacks.

Is this a new feature in 16.6?

PS: I probably could have remade the parts in less time then I have spent trying to figure it out...........

    Well, different story this morning.......... I opened one of the .dra files from yesterday and it now has all of the pins in it and I was able to create the .psm file. Yesterday it didn't. The only thing I did was restart the computer this morning when I came in.

    I'd still like to understand what all of the "dumped" messages are. I didn't see that type of message on any of the other parts I've converted.

    Oh, I did look at the pads yesterday and they all seemed fine. I even moved them from the "convert" directory to my path specified padstacks directory with no effect.
