Choosing footprint from library.

• Choosing footprint from library.

• Hi
  
  I have a problem with adding items from my own library for which I defined many footprints. On the schematic always lands with a default value, unless I select the Place but it is too much clicking. If you add the built-in library, this problem does not occur I can grab a footprint that interests me and this will be set on the schematic.
  
  Do you know any solution? Something had to switch in my library?
  
  I think that the movie clearly shows all

• Weird, don't see that problem in AD9.3. Is this AD10?
  
  All I can think is create a new library project, copy a part over, compile/install and see if it persists.

• Did you specify the correct footprint in your schematic library?

• yes, you can see that when click place it works, only grabing from my libraries does not work grabing from build in librares is ok

• I've never used altium but did you save the footprint with a value attached (ie when you designed it) if so then that would most likely be the problem. If not and altium is assigning a random value (when saved ) then it is indeed strange.
  
  Edit < Just re watched  the video and you have got the value item ticked in the parameter list. Does this not display the value?>
