"Device File" error message showing up with HotFix60 installed

Importing a newly created netlist from CIS, I'm now getting these 'old' DEVICE FILE messages:

Note: MFG_PN property definition created


#1   ERROR(SPMHNI-176): Device library error detected.

ERROR(SPMHNI-189): Problems with the name of device 'TESTPOINT5_0.125" DIA X 0.320"_1': 'Name is too long.'.
Note: PACKAGE property definition created

ERROR(SPMHNI-170): Device 'TESTPOINT5_0.125" DIA X 0.320"_' has library errors. Unable to transfer to Allegro.

#2   ERROR(SPMHNI-176): Device library error detected.

ERROR(SPMHNI-189): Problems with the name of device 'TESTPOINT5_0.125 DIA X 0.320 L_1': 'Name is too long.'.

ERROR(SPMHNI-170): Device 'TESTPOINT5_0.125 DIA X 0.320 L_' has library errors. Unable to transfer to Allegro.

I'm not aware of specifying the DEVICE information any longer, but this is now raising its UGLY HEAD.
Any help is appreciated.

    As I suspected – there are 2!!!! Settings.

     

    • Global – in the user’s setting (env)
    • In each database – under Setup/Design Parameters/Design:

     

     

    Problem solved.  L
