Error SMD pad not 'Either' layer for the 'Test SMT/blind pad'

Hello,

 I'm working on a pcb revision of a master.

I received the database from the custumer and I don't know who designed the previous release.

Evertime I pick a new track on log windows appears this message

Error  SMD pad not 'Either' layer for the 'Test SMT/blind pad'

I tried on Design Parameter Editor but I can clear this error.

Some ideas?

Thanks

Stefano

    I think it's the testprep setup, try the following commands:

    testprep prmed
    setwindow form.testprep_parameters
    FORM testprep_parameters test_pad_type SMT/Blind
    FORM testprep_parameters test_pad_type Either
    FORM testprep_parameters close

    I tried your commands

    Now there are some additional masseges

    (SPMHMF-152): SMD pad not 'Either' layer for the 'Test SMT/blind pad'.

    (SPMHMF-84): Detected an old 'Test SMT/blind pad' setting of C035S.

    (SPMHMF-86): The old setting(s) will not be visible in Testprep Parameters but will continue to be used until any new Padstack Selections are made.
