Part footprint will not update - help please.

Former Member
Former Member over 14 years ago

I created a header part in my custom library and discovered that the pads had too little space between them. I modified my footprint by decreasing the diameter of the pad and saved it. Went to my board layout and updated the library that the part is in. I used the Library menu tab, not the command line.  The part footprint does not update. If I go back into the library and look at the part, the pad size is correct. But, I can’t get the new smaller pad size to appear on my board. Even if I add another header of the same part to the schematic, it comes out in layout as the original pad diameter, not the smaller one as it should.  Thanks, David

    I'm having this same issue - I went to my package, modified the size of the

    pad so that the drill was still 1mm but the diameter was only 1.25mm

    (punched it in manually) and used the "Change" command to change the pad

    sizes and shapes.  In the board, the shape has changed but not the

    diameter.  Any ideas?
