How to re-use old footprints from an Allegro design

Hi,

Simple question (maybe). I have exported the library of components from an Allegro 16.2 layout into a directory. Everything looks perfect. However, and this might be my inexperience, every component, including the surface mount parts, still retain the number of layers that was used in the old layout. How do I re-use those components in a new design that will not only have a different number of layers, but different layer names and functions?

Thanks!

Before exporting the libraries open the cross section form and delete all of the layers except the outer. Then when you export the libraries you only get top, bottom and default_inner
