What creates Device Type name?

ToddR

I am trying to bring in a module to my design but none of the seed circuit components match the design components; even though they are the same p/n.

The reason this is happening I believe is the Device Type names are different. i.e.

The module properties show this for this resistor -  Device Type: RES-XX-XXX-XXLF,0,0%,1/10W,11_B

The design that I am trying to bring the module into shows this  - Device Type: RES-XX-XXX-XXLF,0,0%,1/10W,11_0603,ACTIVE-11_0603

(I exed out the actual p/n in these examples).

Why is everything after 1/10W different? What controls this setting?

I have Long Name Size set a 255 characters in both designs but the module may have originally been created with something less.

    I was able to fix this issue. I deleted everything in the packaged folder. Ran Design Sync again and the longer Device Type names appeared in Allegro.
