Missing padstacks

KobiC

Hi,

At the middle of a brd layout, I decided to stop and start a new layout. Before I started the new brd, I had made some changes in my global library of the pads, psm and dra.

The changes included some tunes at dra's I prepared earlier, and some re-naming of some pads/psm/dra (changes the names from generic to some more intuitive ones).

Then, when I operated the Netrev Import for the new brd, I got many warnings saying (for example):

"Unable to load symbol 'CAP-1206' for device 'C1206X103KARACAUTO_0_CAP-1206_1': WARNING(SPMHUT-127): Could not find padstack S_R115_182_M115_182_P115_18."

Checking out the library path, the padpath, psmpath and devpath are correctly defined. However, looking at the padstack report (tools/padstack/refresh), there were only existing the footprints I didn't deal with. 

Those dra's I changed their name / edited them hadn't been shown there.

Could anyone figure out what I did wrong, and what can return those footprints ?

  • Basics are the tools can't find the padstack called S_R115_182_M115_182_P115_18 so open the filename.dra and either use Tools - Padstack - Replace and replace the padstack in the footprint with one that does exist in your padpath or use File - Export - Libraries and export the padstacks to a directory that is part of the padpath location.
