Package Symbol Wizard Padstack Browser selection

B Price

Hi, I'm using OrCAD PCB Editor 16.5 and trying to create a footprint.  I've made the padstack for this footprint and saved it to a shared network location.  When I use the Package Symbol Wizard Padstack Browser, it has a giant list of pads from the local install and other (seemingly) random places.  Is there a way to filter or add location(s) that it pulls pad files from?

If I add pads later to an arbitrary folder, how can I access it in the padstack browser?

    Thanks guys - I figured there was a source list somewhere. Seems straight forward enough as long as I keep to different names for my pads...
