While updating footprint, the shape symbol is not updated automatically in cadence Allegro 17.2 tool

Hello,

Recently I faced error in paste mask layer. while updating the footprint Ex.from 0402 to 0201 package, the footprint is updated but the shape symbol of padstack is not updated correctly in cadence 17.2 tool

Ex: The error shape symbol of paste mask for SMD_R0201 package

After update the shape symbol through Place --> Update symbols--> Shape and Flash symbols-->S_R0201_S3 (Shape symbol name)

Here My question, it is not updating automatically while updating the footprint?

Do you have any solution If it will update automatically while updating the footprint?

    This is how the update function is designed to work, not least because the Shape / Flash Symbols are stored in separate files but also because you might not want the Shape / Flash Symbols updated. If you want the functionality to be changed, you will need to file an enhancement request, either directly with Cadence Support or via your Cadence Channel Partner.
